With the stiff competition in the broadband market, Globe Telecom Inc. is set to launch fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) technology with speed and coverage 10 times the traditional WiFi network.
Following the successful test of FTTR technology, Globe said it is set to become among the first telecommunications providers in Southeast Asia to launch the FTTR service, which has the capacity to handle up to 128 device connections.
This is among innovations on offer under Globe’s push for built-in broadband in housing developments, working with several of the country’s major builders and real property developers for greater adoption of ready connectivity.
The new solution provided by Globe At Home will help customers maximize WiFi signals and avoid dead spots in large spaces, houses and buildings with thick multiple concrete walls and floors, and too many connected devices.
With GFiber Unli plans boosted by FTTR, the digital experience at home will reach a whole new level, the company said.
“Broadband services have shifted during the pandemic. The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, whether for work, learning, or entertainment. It is also now being used to maximize connectivity in intelligent homes. The introduction of FTTR will further elevate their digital lifestyle at home,” said Janis Racpan, head of Globe At Home brand management.
The technology aims to build an all-optical base for whole-home WiFi. It extends fiber to every room and enables gigabit WiFi 6 coverage to create a new digital experience.
Globe said it is adopting FTTR and offering innovative services as part of its commitment to bring a #1stWorldNetwork to Filipinos nationwide.
