Intex Telecom Systems, Inc. - Makati City, Philippines

Founded in February 1985, Intex Telecom Systems is the leading provider of telecommunication solutions and services to domestic and international carriers in the Philippines. It is also among a few industry players that can install base station controllers (BSC) and mobile switching centers (MSC) facilities.Crucial to the growth of Intex was its partnership with Nokia. This started in 1988, when Intex was the distributor of NOKIA’s data communication products in the Philippines. Other Nokia product lines, such as transmission equipment and backbone networks, were introduced in the early 1990s when the Philippine telecom industry was deregulated. Intex facilitated the entry of Nokia’s GSM technology with Globe Telecom and Smart Communications, which were just starting up their operations then. Intex and NOKIA have significant achievements as partners.
