Manila, Eastern Communications unveil 34 MNLKonek digital kiosks
IN partnership with Eastern Communications, the local government of Manila has officially unveiled 34 units of MNLKonek digital kiosks along España Boulevard.
Supporting the capital city’s goal of digitization in Manila, Eastern Communications, one of the premier telecommunications companies in the country, provided the fiber-powered digital kiosks within the stretch of España Boulevard where the public can do local phone calls, charge their phones, call emergency hotlines and browse the internet for free.
The MNLKonek digital kiosk offers up to 200 mbps internet speed and can connect 100 users simultaneously within 50 to 100-meter radius. It also has a built-in tablet that users can use to browse directions, maps and information.
Accessible to commuters, constituents and bystanders, the free internet access is available for at least 30 minutes per session. Users will be automatically disconnected after the time limit and reconnection is needed to have the free WIFI access.
“I’m proud to officially introduce MNLKonek digital kiosks to the public, in partnership with Eastern Communications. At this trying time, we value more the role of free internet connection so people can conveniently access relevant resources,” Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said.
“We are thankful for the local government of Manila for allowing us to be part of this innovation. It has been Eastern Communications commitment to provide a quality internet experience to the public which they can use to get information conveniently and for free,” Eastern Communications Sales
Division Head Michael Castañeda sharerd.
Last year, Manila City and Eastern Communications launched the first MNLKonek digital kiosk at the Bonifacio Park near Manila City Hall.
