DALLAS, Texas, USA, May 1, 2023 – DZS (Nasdaq: DZSI), a global leader of access, optical and cloud-controlled software defined solutions, today announced that the Asian Business Review’s Asian Telecom Awards 2023 has recognized the company for its work with PLDT, the largest fully integrated telco in the Philippines.
