The fastest-growing telecommunications provider in the Philippines, DITO Telecommunity has officially launched the world’s first home Wi-Fi powered by 5G RedCap technology, named DITO Home WOWFi. This new product, developed in partnership with Huawei Technologies, aims to revolutionize home internet by offering Filipinos an affordable yet high-speed broadband solution.

The DITO Home WOWFi is designed to deliver fast internet speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps), utilizing DITO’s standalone (SA) “true 5G” network. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi setups, this technology offers a seamless wireless experience, eliminating the need for wired connections while providing users with the full potential of 5G.

A Market Disruptor: Affordable, Fast, & Unlimited Wi-Fi

Evelyn Jimenez, DITO’s Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business, highlighted that the new DITO Home WOWFi is set to disrupt the current internet market, addressing the limitations faced by many Filipino households.

“In reality, the current internet options of Filipino households are quite limiting. You can get fast and unlimited Wi-Fi, but it won’t be cheap; you can get fast and affordable but not unlimited, and you can get affordable and unlimited, but it won’t be fast– this is the reality we live in. As the third telco committed to enhancing the lives of the Filipino people, we want to change the norm and disrupt the market by giving Filipinos the home internet they deserve– fast, unlimited, and affordable,” Jimenez said.

Jimenez emphasized that the new service is tailored to meet the demands of digital transformation and technological advancements, providing Filipinos with an internet service that supports remote work, online learning, and smart home integration.

Introducing 5G RedCap Technology to Filipino Homes

5G RedCap, originally developed for industrial applications, is a new addition to the 5G family known for its low latency, high peak data rates, and high capacity. DITO Telecommunity is the first telecommunications provider to introduce this cutting-edge technology for home use, making it accessible to Filipino households.

As the only operator in the country with a true 5G SA network, DITO is uniquely positioned to deliver this innovative service, which not only enhances everyday internet usage but also supports the future of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home applications.

Easy Setup & Accessibility for All

One of the standout features of DITO Home WOWFi is its simplicity. The device requires no complicated installation — just plug and play. It is especially beneficial in underserved areas where wired connections may not be feasible, bridging the digital divide and ensuring remote areas have access to high-quality internet.

Priced at PHP1,990, the DITO Home WOWFi Starter Kit comes with 30 days of unlimited 5G data and 50GB of 4G data. The monthly prepaid service starts at PHP790, offering a flexible, no-contract option for users.

With DITO Home WOWFi, Filipinos can finally enjoy fast, reliable, and affordable internet, redefining the home internet experience across the nation.
