Xeleqt is a technology company focused on AI-IoT solutions aimed at improving workplace productivity and engagement. It is an AI-of-Things enabled business-to-employee platform that measures, rewards, and records workforce performance. The company started with a vision of delivering real-time services to traditional businesses that lacked access to emerging opportunities as smart devices became more prominent. It has since grown into a team dedicated to driving transformation through technology.
Xeleqt won the grand prize at the Start-up Innovation Challenge at PH Digicon 2023, in partnership with PLDT, and was later selected by the Department of Trade and Industry to represent the Philippines at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair.
A commitment to supporting technology innovators with scalable connectivity
PLDT Enterprise’s partnership with Xeleqt is centered on providing the wireless connectivity foundation needed to support a growing AI-IoT ecosystem. As Xeleqt’s deployments expanded, the company needed a solution capable of supporting thousands of connected devices while maintaining performance, reliability, and uptime. It also needed a connectivity platform capable of supporting AI-enabled IoT applications, from real-time data capture to analytics and automation.
Enabled by PLDT Enterprise, Xeleqt’s devices run on Smart’s IoT connectivity, supporting reliable and always-on performance across its operations.
This expanded deployment is expected to strengthen Xeleqt’s ability to support more automated, intelligent, and data-driven applications across its operations. By providing always-on connectivity at scale, the partnership reinforces wireless infrastructure as a key enabler of innovation.
Built on a growing partnership
The relationship between the two companies traces back to Xeleqt’s mother company, Spingine Corp, a system integrator that initially worked with PLDT Enterprise to support large-scale connectivity requirements. When Xeleqt was formally established in 2021, the collaboration continued and evolved in line with the company’s growing focus on IoT solutions.
As Xeleqt scaled its operations, PLDT Enterprise’s wireless IoT SIM solutions helped strengthen network reliability, simplify connectivity management, and support the company’s planned AI-ready IoT ecosystem. This continuity of engagement—from Spingine Corp to Xeleqt—is part of what reinforces PLDT Enterprise’s role as a long-term connectivity partner in Xeleqt’s digital transformation journey.
“Partnerships like this show how scalable wireless connectivity can directly support innovation and operational efficiency,” said Jay Lagdameo, Vice President and Head, Domestic Enterprise Business, Regional & Commercial at PLDT Enterprise. “As Xeleqt continues to expand its AI-IoT initiatives, PLDT Enterprise remains committed to providing the reliable connectivity foundation that helps power those efforts.”
“As Xeleqt continues to grow its AI-IoT solutions, having scalable and reliable connectivity is critical to how we serve our customers and expand our operations,” said Norman Curato, President of Xeleqt Technology Innovations, Inc., “Our collaboration with PLDT Enterprise gives us the connectivity foundation we need to support more intelligent and data-driven applications at scale.”
