Coordinator

Dear Mr. Torres,

Thank you for your interest in, and the opportunity to present, Cable21 Technologies
services.
Cable 21 Broadband Fiber Optics Connection is an Internet solution designed to address the
need of higher quality, more reliable and faster Internet access. We are pleased to submit
our proposal to serve your institutions requirements. It is designed to make your company
more efficient and productive.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Cable 21 Technologies is the value-added services (VAS) arm of Parasat Cable TV.
Established in July of 2000 in Cagayan de Oro City, it has pioneered the broadband Internet
service in the city. Today the company continues to expand, leading and innovating, powered
by dedicated people with just the right balance of technical knowledge and attention to
customer satisfaction.
THE CABLE 21 ADVANTAGE
To date, Cable 21s edge over other providers is having a multi-redundant source of high
speed Internet bandwidth from two major gateways, namely: Globe Innove, and
Bayantel. All two terminations are capable of bursting on demand to 500 Mbps.
With fiber optic cables, Internet speed can reach up to 25 times faster than existing DSL and
cable Internet connection, thus, there is simply no faster way to connect to the Internet.
IT support for Cable 21 customers is available on a 24/7 basis while major line trouble can be
resolved within hours due to the availability of On-Call Parasat/Cable 21 outside plant
technicians and fiber splicing equipment, in emergency cases. In case of Electric Utility
outages, the Headend facilities of Parasat/Cable 21 are equipped with a 36Kw UPS and a
50KVA genset.
