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.
