As the digital and physical worlds continue to merge, high-speed connectivity has become critical to transforming everyday life at home and on the go.
Last week, I got a sneak peek at what's in store for Globe At Home subscribers looking for a faster and more efficient internet experience at home.
Globe At Home is elevating the internet at home experience as it pioneers Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) technology in Southeast Asia to support Filipinos' unique and dynamic digital lifestyle. The next-generation cutting-edge networking technology is powered by its latest GFiber Unli bundle offerings.
I traveled to the South of Metro Manila with other media personalities to meet the very first customer of Globe-at-Home FTTR, Nicole Syjuco, who showed us around the beauty of her glass house as well as the digital upgrades and seamless connectivity that she and her family now enjoy.
“As we usher in a new age of connectivity through intelligent homes to make our daily lives more
convenient and energy-efficient, a fast internet connection is crucial. The introduction of FTTR
through our GFiber Unli plans will further elevate the Filipinos’ digital lifestyle at home as it allows
them to enjoy brand-new immersive life experiences–more seamless as we move into Gigabit
Homes,” said Raymond Policarpio, Vice President of Globe At Home Brand Management.
Syjuco is an all-around mom and the vice president of Draco Builders, a Muntinlupa-based design and construction company on a mission to build dream homes. Keeping up with work while staying in touch with loved ones is an ongoing challenge, but one that Syjuco enjoys thanks to the latest addition to her lovely home, Globe at Home's FTTR technology.
FTTR is currently the most innovative home WiFi technology that promises superior, most consistent
and fastest fiber connectivity at home, in every room and floor.
FTTR technology can provide WiFi 6 coverage to an entire house, eliminating dead spots in large and remote areas, as well as in buildings with thick multiple concrete walls, rooms, and floors. This means that the entire family can connect up to 128 devices and enjoy 10 times the speed and coverage of a standard WiFi network. They can also make video calls, attend virtual meetings, stream 8K movies, and play online games without lag, regardless of where they are in the house.
Hosted by Bianca Gonzales-Intal, the FTTR technology was demonstrated to us via a digital tour that included the use of some of the home's devices and smart gadgets. We were most convinced of the power of FTTR when we tested the WiFi connectivity, which was interestingly in all of the places, inside the powder room. I'm sure many people can relate to certain scenarios, such as spending more than the average amount of time in the bathroom watching movies or playing online video games. With FTTR, we no longer need a WiFi extenders to enjoy seamless connectivity.
Globe At Home customers can experience the full power of FTTR technology when they subscribe to GFiber Unli Plan 7499, which offers speeds of up to 1Gbps. GFiber Unli Plan 7499 includes free installation of a primary hub and four satellite hubs, and exclusive access to a VIP hotline and Globe Home Squad of tech experts for a personalized intelligent home assessment and installation.
