8990 brings fiber-to-home to Metro Manila condos
MASS housing developer 8990 Holdings Inc. is bringing fiber-to-home Internet and cable technology as an allied service to residents of its medium-rise buildings in Metro Manila.
8990 Holdings said it had teamed up with Cebu-based ITECH-RAR Solutions Inc. to bring Internet and cable TV services to its housing projects in Metro Manila.
The deal allows 8990 to offer “Fiber to Deca Homes (FDTH)” Internet and cable TV services in its medium rise projects nationwide. Under the partnership signed last March 29, ITECH-RAR will bring in fiber optics technology for Internet, WIFI, CATV, and other communication and security services to Urban Deca Home – Campville in Brgy. Cupang in Muntinlupa City.
“Deca Homes is pleased to continuously make available to our homeowners the quality of service and innovation that is associated with the Deca Homes brand,” 8990 Holdings president Januario Jesus Atencio said on Tuesday.
The recent partnership worth P15 million covers the installation of FDTH in Urban Deca Homes Campville composed of 12 Medium Rise Buildings with 1,024 units.
This is the third FDTH project for both 8990 and ITECH-RAR after the successful launch of the same service in Urban Deca Homes in Tipolo and Tisa, both in Cebu.
FDTH is the first of its kind for the local low-cost real estate industry. With this deal, fiber optics will be carried out from the main distribution line up to the condominium unit for triple play of wired internet, WIFI and cable TV.
The service also provides options for CCTV and softphone with 24×7 maintenance and technical support.
“This means faster and more reliable bandwidth for both download and upload allowing all its users to gain the most efficient use,” 8990 said in a press statement.
The service offers Internet and WIFI services with speeds of up to three Mbps ranging between P699 a month for a data cap of 2.5 GB and P1,499 for unlimited data.
Unit owners will have to shell out P1,749 per month for bundled Internet and cable TV services and P599 per month for cable TV subscription only.
Both 8990 and ITECH-RAR will partner with third party suppliers to provide the bandwidth and cable connectivity for an exclusive rollout of the same services to the unit owners of other Urban Deca Home projects.
Other medium rise building projects of 8990 include Urban Deca Homes in Tondo, Manila; the Urban Deca Tower along Edsa in Mandaluyong City, and the Urban Deca Homes Ortigas in Pasig City.
