Infrastructure
Telephone System

With the advent of information technology, telecommunication facilities of the province and the city have improved considerably over the past years.

Two major backbones traversed Cagayan de Oro. The first is PLDT’s 10-gbps Digital Fiber Optic Backbone (DFOB). It connects to five international submarine cable systems in the Asia Pacific and Southeast Asia, and further to North American, Middle East and Western Europe. It is supported by an extensive Digital Microwave Backbone.

The second major backbone is Telicphil’s 10-gbps National Digital Transmission Network -- a 2,762-kilometer fiber optic facility that spans from Cuyapo, Isabela in the North down to Cagayan de Oro.
