MANILA, Philippines — Fiber broadband and technology solutions provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is boosting connectivity at the country’s third busiest airport.
Converge said it has provided a one-gigabyte capacity connection to Davao International Airport for the use of the nearly 3.9 million passengers transiting through the gateway annually.
“As we near the last quarter of the year, we’re forging ahead with our project of providing fiber broadband to the country’s local and international gateways,” Converge CEO and co-founder Dennis Anthony Uy said.
“We’re happy to report that Davao International Airport is now fiberized by Converge. Consider this as an early Christmas gift, as we expect an influx of travelers these last two months of the year,” he said.
According to Converge, the one-gigabyte connectivity can be used through 49 access points spread throughout the airport’s passenger terminal building spanning 65,000 square meters, including the 14 domestic and international check-in counters and commercial areas.
The company expects the 49 access points to serve about 12,500 users daily.
“The facility we’ve laid down in the Davao International Airport is capable of providing one Gbps of bandwidth for the passengers, but it can accommodate more. We’ve put in this extra capacity to suit the needs of the airport management and personnel, and of course the thousands of passengers that go through the airport,” Uy said.
Converge is equipping the country’s gateways with fiber-fast broadband.
After completing NAIA in the second quarter, the company is now setting its sights on regional airports.
As the main gateway to Mindanao, the Davao International Airport is the busiest airport on the island and the third busiest in the Philippines in 2022.
Upon logging on to the Converge network, travelers in Davao International Airport can enjoy fiber-fast internet for two hours.
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.
