Converge ICT Solutions Inc. on Thursday said it completed fiber-powering the country’s main gateway, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), as it deploys free public wifi at NAIA Terminals 1 and 2.
This expansion is part of Converge’s Free Pure Fiber Wi-Fi project, a partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and several airport operators
“With the fiber connection now established in Terminal 1 and 2, Converge has completed the fiber-powering of NAIA and will be available for use of the four terminals whose combined traffic was estimated at 45 million passengers in 2023,” Dennis Anthony Uu, Converge chief executive and co-founder, said.
“We’re privileged to give reliable and seamless connectivity to the country’s busiest transit hub. There will be several more in the offing for our free public wifi program for the rest of the year,” he added.
As a bonus, Converge subscribers with a GoFiber account have an additional six hours of free internet access for five devices if they input their GoFiber account number in the login page.
For its prepaid fiber internet subscribers under the Surf2Sawa brand, they may also enjoy six more hours of free wifi for two devices, once an account is registered.
“We are glad to now have this service in Terminals 1 and 2, we now have free wifi in all terminals in Ninoy Aquino International Airport,” Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said.
“Connectivity is really important for passengers, now that it’s considered a necessity,” he added.
