DCConnect launches VERA, WhatsApp-native Connectivity Advisor at ITW USA 2026

WASHINGTON - May 18, 2026 - PRLog -- DCConnect Global today announced the launch of VERA, the first WhatsApp-native bulk connectivity advisor purpose-built for wholesale connectivity. VERA makes her global debut at International Telecoms Week (ITW) USA 2026 at the DCConnect booth #413, where carriers, hyperscalers, and channel partners can put their most complex pricing questions and entire site lists  directly to her.

What used to take 48 hours and a stack of PDF quotes now takes 30 seconds and a WhatsApp message.

VERA's most distinctive feature is what she does with a spreadsheet. Upload an Excel of 40 sites  building addresses, A–Z routes, capacity requirements and VERA returns verified pricing for the entire list in a single reply. The same applies to PDFs and Word documents. What used to require days of back-and-forth across multiple vendors becomes one attachment, one response.

VERA also responds to voice notes. Carrier sales reps walking the ITW floor, riding between meetings, or fielding a live hyperscale call can speak a pricing question and get a verified answer in the same channel; no portal login, no email thread, no PDF.

Why VERA matters

Quoting wholesale connectivity has remained largely unchanged for two decades. A simple price request for a 1Gbps wave between two data centers can take 48 hours, multiple emails, and three PDFs that don't compare cleanly. VERA collapses that workflow into a single conversation.

"The industry has spent years digitising every part of the connectivity stack except the moment a buyer asks 'what does this cost?'" said Charmond Tsang, CCO, DCConnect Global. "VERA fixes that. She turns a 48-hour RFQ into a 30-second chat without sacrificing accuracy, every price she surfaces comes directly from our WebPricing platform."

Coverage: Southeast Asia at the core, global through partners

VERA is built on DCConnect's on-net infrastructure across Southeast Asia, with operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, plus an established network presence in Hong Kong.

Beyond the region, VERA extends coverage through DCConnect's partner ecosystem, giving carriers and hyperscalers a single WhatsApp interface to query pricing across global inter-data-center routes. The result: deep, defensible Asia capability at the core, with global reach for partners whose enterprise customers operate worldwide
