Nearly 3.9 million travelers at the Davao International Airport are set to benefit from faster internet connectivity following the recent installation of a fiber internet connection at the said gateway.
As part of a memorandum of agreement with Davao airport, Converge ICT Solutions Inc. said that it recently installed a 1-gigabyte fiber internet connection at Davao airport—the country’s third busiest gateway.
Users are able to connect for two hours upon logging in, but Converge subscribers with a GoFiber account can have an additional six hours of free internet access for five devices.
The fiber connection can cover 49 access points spread throughout terminal buildings, check-in counters, and commercial areas and is estimated to serve some 12,500 users daily.
“As we near the last quarter of the year, we are forging ahead with our project of providing fiber broadband to the country’s local and international gateways. We are 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,” said Converge Chief Executive Officer Dennis Anthony Uy.
“The facility we’ve laid down in the [airport] is capable of providing 1 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,” he added.
Davao International Airport is the main airport serving Davao City and Davao Region in the Philippines. Serving as the main gateway to Mindanao, it is the busiest airport on the island and the third busiest in the Philippines in 2022.
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility program, Converge said it was equipping the Philippines’ gateways with fiber-fast broadband, having finished improving connection at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the second quarter of this year.
At present, Converge said it continues to set its sights to connect other regional airports in the country.
