PLDT SME Nation offers Wi-Fi bundle for hotels, restaurants

MANILA, Philippines - Succeeding in any business can be quite a challenge nowadays, but the country’s hotel and restaurant industry has shown that growth is achievable with the help of both government and partners from the private sector like PLDT SME Nation.

“And this is where we, at PLDT SME Nation, can help them, particularly with our new myDSL Biz Wi-Fi Hotspot Bundle,” said PLDT SME Nation community consultancy head Gabby Cui during the membership meeting of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines (HRAP) held at the Century Park Hotel in Manila recently.

The meet had no less than Tourism Undersecretary Oscar Palabyab as guest of honor. 

He and other guests were welcomed by HRAP president Humphrey O’Leary; hotel division vice president Richard Masselin; Patrick Chan, membership committee chairman; Philippe Bartholomi, ASEAN Bartending Committee chairman; and other HRAP officers.

The myDSL Biz Wi-Fi Hotspot Bundle includes a router and a username/password printer, which is connected to the myDSL Biz subscription.

Capable of generating and printing unique usernames and passwords for individual Wi-Fi users, this ensures business owners that only authorized customers or users can have access to their Wi-Fi service.

A big benefit that this bundle offers to both business owners and customers alike is that it relies on PLDT’s high-speed Internet DSL service, which has speeds of up to 5Mbps, ensuring high-speed data connectivity.

It is powered by the telecommunications giant’s Next Generation Network, which guarantees constant and virtually limitless Internet bandwidth.

Businesses need not worry about after-sales concerns because PLDT and its Wi-Fi vendor partner will handle the troubleshooting and maintenance of the equipment.

PLDT SME Nation product manager Christian Lim observed that most tourists nowadays want to stay connected and it would be a great value-added service for hotels and restaurants to offer them connectivity services.

“You can earn more as you offer regular services to your clientele by having them avail themselves of your wireless connection services for a reasonable rate. This, in turn, would help generate more revenues for your establishments,” he said.
