Make it your brightest holiday season with your upgraded home connection.
Getting a fast and reliable fiber internet at home has become a necessity these days. With so many gadgets and appliances connected to the internet at home, there has to be a better way to fully enjoy seamless connectivity.
It starts off with a super fast fiber internet that you can avail from Globe At Home and experience speeds of up to 1.5Gbps. Yes, that’s gigabit speeds we’re talking about!
Here are some tech essentials you can consider this holiday season to make the best out of your home fiber internet:

Mesh WiFi
If you have a medium to large house with multiple floors, you will most probably need a mesh router. A mesh wifi setup allows you to expand the wifi coverage of your home network by adding nodes (similar to a repeater) to each floor, room or section of the house. All you need to do is get an extra node and hook it up with a power source so you can extend the signal strength and coverage of your WiFi.
A mesh network includes a primary wifi router and multiple nodes or extenders around the house. The nodes basically receive signal from the main router and extend that signal across the room. In effect, you have a wider network made up of multiple nodes. The great thing about it is that it remains to be a single access point or AP (WiFi name) for the entire home, regardless of which node or repeater you are connected to.
It is also easy to expand the network in the future because all you need to do is add a new node/extender.
Cool tip: This comes free for Globe GFiber Unli Plan 2699 and up customers!
With most mesh WiFi now supporting WiFi 6 technology, you can enjoy faster internet speeds anywhere at home with a stronger WiFi signal, multiple or dedicated access points, and a lag-free gaming experience.

Digital Door Locks
Say goodbye to tagging along a bunch of keys everywhere you go. Convert your home to wireless biometric door locks and spare yourself the hassle.
Electronic door locks offer multiple security options – from simple PIN codes, RFID tags, to fingerprint, Bluetooth, WiFi locking mechanisms. Your GFiber internet, along with the bundled WiFi 6 mesh routers, will help in maximizing your security setup – whether it’s at home or in your office.
We’ve employed a full wireless and biometric system at the new YugaTech HQ. Our main gate and garage doors are secured by a biometric padlock with Bluetooth connectivity. The main door of the house is also secured by a biometric padlock that can be managed via WiFi using a phone app. We manage all these devices using our WiFi network and a companion mobile app.
With fast fiber internet and wider WiFi coverage for the entire home, you can rest assured that your home is safe and properly secured. You can even open the locks remotely or change the PINs anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet.

Intelligent Devices
Start with the basics – smart bulbs, WiFi plugs, wireless switches, intelligent TVs and more. All these intelligent devices and appliances can be hooked up to your home network and controlled wirelessly via a hub or mobile app, even if you are away from home. These can even help save on electricity in the long run.
There are a lot of intelligent TVs available in the market and almost all of them come with streaming apps like Netflix, Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV+ right out of the box.
And, with GFiber Unli Plan, you can actually log-in to apps such as Disney+, HBO Go, and Prime video because subscription is included from plans Php 2699 up! Once you hook them up to your home network, easily enjoy all of your favorite movies with as simple as a voice command.
Integrating all of these intelligent devices can be managed easily whenever you have fast fiber internet and maximize all their potential.
Personal Assistant Devices
Big tech players have also invested in AI-enabled personal assistants that you can access on your phone, laptops, or even standalone hubs that can help you perform simple tasks from turning on alarms to switching on lights at home.
Intelligent Cameras
With safety and security in mind, everyone is turning to IP cameras at home to replace the conventional CCTV system.
Get some peace of mind by having 24/7 monitoring of your home, instant personal alarm and replay of events with motion detection.
When connected with your fast fiber internet at home, you get better quality videos (2k or higher resolution) streamed from the camera, faster time to access and be able to view multiple cameras all at the same time.
You can even use it as a two-way communication device! We use it to communicate, in real-time, with our regular Lazada or Shopee couriers whenever they drop off new parcels or packages – all thanks to our fast fiber internet at home.
You can also get access to Globe’s Home Squad which can help guide you on how to build your intelligent home and provide necessary technical support.
