The Armed Forces of the Philippines, through its Communications, Electronics, and Information Systems Service (CEISSAFP), honored communications and IT solutions distributor Synetcom Philippines Inc. for its contributions to the integration of modern systems and capability upgrades of the AFP modernization program.

Synetcom provided AFP with free technical training and updates on the responsive, reliable, secure, and cost-effective solutions and information that will help enhance the country’s military strength in the areas of operations and communications.

Thirty officers and enlisted personnel from the Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine National Police Personnel underwent the Siemens HiPath 4000 Basic Training under the AFP Digital Switch Operations and Maintenance Course 07-2013.

According to CEISSAFP Deputy Commander for Operations Capt. Vicente L. Cejoco, this is the first in the history of the unit that both personnel from the Coast Guard and PNP joined together to undergo a training program in preparation for the integration of the communication systems of other government agencies with the AFP.

Synetcom provided the much-needed detailed and informative technical knowledge and skills to the AFP personnel manning the network.

“To support AFP through technical training is our way of helping defend and protect our national sovereignty specially with the advent of cyber attacks and other network security threats that is becoming rampant nowadays,” Synetcom president and CEO Dennis Luyahan said.
