Globe Telecom Inc. through its partnership with the local government of Davao has deployed its GoWiFi and KonekTayoWiFi services in the city to deliver reliable and affordable internet connections.
The partnership marks the first presence of Globe’s technology in Davao that solidifies its support to the highly-urbanized city with top industry-grade and innovative services. Globe said it intends to provide Filipinos with accessible and affordable means of communication.
“We remain steadfast and focused on the vision of the city government to fulfill a better and more connected Davao City, and enable the efficient delivery of services to its people through accessible and affordable internet services,” said Ernest Cu, Globe president and chief executive officer.
Through GoWiFi, Globe will power up Davao City Hall and Davao City People’s Park to allow staff members and the public to conduct essential online activities conveniently and remain connected for free.
GoWiFi, the largest WiFi service in the country, is currently accessible in over 3,100 locations nationwide and available to all users regardless of network provider.
Globe KonekTayoWiFi, a public community WiFi data service, will be deployed in Bucana, Sasa, and SIR Village 1 and 2. By going to any KonekTayo hotspot, Globe said community residents can connect to the internet at speeds of up to 20 megabits per second for an affordable cost.
Globe said engaging more communities through KonekTayo is also part of its larger commitment to support digital learning while the students cannot physically go to school.
