Philippine company expands Wi-Fi service

19.04.2006
Innove Communications' GlobeQUEST has announced it is expanding its Wireless Internet Zone (WiZ) service across the Philippines and abroad through domestic and international roaming partnerships.

With the roaming agreements, the company can now provide a wider Wi-Fi access service to prepaid, postpaid and 'wiz on' subscribers whether they're in the country or traveling overseas. The 'wiz on' service allows Globe HandyPhone postpaid subscribers to download a username and password by texting a message request. The service will then be billed to the subscriber's account.

For domestic roaming, the company has tie-ups with Globe HandyPhone, World Pass, and Pacific Internet. On the other hand, the company has agreements with iPass, Boingo Wireless Inc. and Deutsche Telecom for global roaming.
