Chinese telco firm enters PH market

Chinese telecommunication giant China Mobile International Ltd. (CMI) officially entered the Philippine market through a partnership with Gur Lavi Corp. (GLC).
According to the two firms, they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize their partnership in various projects.
GLC president and CEO Erwin Co said CMI would expand its customer reach in the Philippines by using GLC’s cloud-based call center platform Telavi.
Co added that the collaboration bolsters CMI’s move to infiltrate the Philippine market, while GLC will be expanding its reach to CMI’s customer base.
GLC Division Head for Channel Sales Michelle Bautista added that the partnership grants Telavi access to at least one million households serviced by CMI in the Philippines.
GLC specializes in innovations and solutions in business communications as part of its objective to become a one-stop shop for cloud and telephony services.
Meanwhile, CMI — a subsidiary of state-run China Mobile Ltd. — serves the global demand for telco solutions by offering voice, data, mobile, and roaming services to its customers worldwide.
