Consider this as an early Christmas gift, as we expect an influx of travelers these last two months of the year,\u201d said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a ceremony held November 13, 2024, Converge Government Affairs Head Angelico \u201cChito\u201d Salud linked hands with Davao International Airport General Manager Engr. Rex A. Obcena to officially seal the collaboration, done through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1-gigabyte connectivity can be used through 49 access points spread throughout the airport\u2019s passenger terminal building spanning 65,000 square meters, including the 14 domestic and international check-in counters and commercial areas. The 49 access points are estimated to serve some 12,500 users daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe facility we\u2019ve laid down in the Davao International Airport is capable of providing 1 Gbps of bandwidth for the passengers, but it can accommodate more. We\u2019ve 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,\u201d said Uy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelers in Davao International Airport can enjoy fiber-fast internet for two hours upon logging on to the Converge network. Converge subscribers with a GoFiber account have an additional 6 hours of free internet access for five devices if they input their GoFiber account number in the login page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility program, Converge is equipping the Philippines\u2019 gateways with fiber-fast broadband, having finished NAIA in the second quarter of this year and now setting its sights to regional airports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1-gigabyte connectivity can be used through 49 access points spread throughout the airport\u2019s passenger terminal building spanning 65,000 square meters, including the 14 domestic and international check-in counters and commercial areas.
