Tattoo Introduces New Next-Generation Broadband Solutions at Home or On-The-Go

The overwhelming development in wireless technologies and micro-electronics have paved the way to what most call now as the Internet of Things—a world where all digital facets of your life are interconnected and controlled at the touch of your fingertips.

By 2015, 25 Billion IoT (Internet of Things) devices are expected to be deployed, satisfying the needs of the hyper-connected customer. According to Cisco, there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020 – translating to the biggest revenue potential in the next six years for telecommunication companies.

IoT allow more people to stay connected with an array of smart devices other than mobile phones, allowing automation in nearly all fields and powering advanced applications and services. Covering consumer industries such as home, transportation, health, and wearables, this explosion is foreseen to define the competitive landscape in telecommunications and consumer electronics in the next 10 years.

With IoT’s upwelling growth, Globe’s broadband brand Tattoo saw the opportunity to further expand its product portfolio. As one of the fastest growing brands of Globe, Tattoo enters a new frontier, going beyond internet access by offering next-generation solutions that covers both home and personal broadband connected devices.

With the widest and most innovative range of devices backed by the largest 4G mobile network and the fastest fixed fibre products, Tattoo introduces TATTOO NXT. TATTOO NXT is the brand’s latest product range that showcases devices that power every customer’s digital lifestyle whether at home or on the go.

As Senior Vice President for Consumer Broadband Business Gilbert Simpao shares, “the launch of TATTOO NXT cements Tattoo as a technology and innovation leader offering new devices that go beyond the basic tablets, internet dongles and mobile WiFis. More than just a connection, Tattoo aims to reinforce itself as a lifestyle brand with these next-generation devices that give customers more enriching ways to stay connected.”

TATTOO NXT presents a new range of products ranging from wearables to home automation.

All new and existing Tattoo Home Broadband customers can get the WiFi Repeater for only P1,399 and the Powerline Network devices for only P2,599. New Tattoo Platinum customers on the other hand can avail of both devices for free.

Finally, you can make sure your home is safe anywhere you are with Home Sync.
