Globe At Home to launch fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) technology

Globe has announced that it will soon launch its fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) technology, making it one of the first telecommunications providers in Southeast Asia to deploy it.

Globe says that FTTR can provide “extremely fast and ultra seamless WiFi connection with exceptionally low latency.” The speed and coverage are 10 times the traditional WiFi network and have the capacity to handle up to 128 device connections.

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.

It will also help Globe At Home 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.

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.

More details about FTTR will be announced soon.
