Advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Wi-Fi 7 speeds of up to 5,764 Mbps further enhance responsiveness by employing multiple bands to stabilize connections while many devices are active. The device is also equipped with Hybrid Quality of Service (QoS), which is compatible with the Intel® KillerTM Prioritization Engine, to assist optimize bandwidth for latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive activities like online gaming, video streaming, and cloud services.

The Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE supports Nano-SIM-based 5G or 4G LTE and features many antennas for strong signal reception.

Both routers are designed to boost coverage and reduce Wi-Fi dead zones in homes and small offices to provide more dependable connectivity from room to room. Both are compatible with Wi-Fi 7 features, such as MLO, which boosts throughput and lowers latency by using multiple bands simultaneously.

Although dedicated WAN and LAN ports provide high-bandwidth wired access to devices like smart TVs, game consoles, and desktop PCs, their straightforward industrial designs allow them to blend in with modern environments. A multi-mesh configuration allows for the addition of extra nodes to boost coverage as needed, and automatic node-switching makes it easier for users to walk between rooms.

A Year of Strategic Partnerships and Global Milestones

In a year full of strategic partnerships and initiatives that strengthen the company's reputation as a dependable development and connectivity facilitator, this ISO certification is the most recent accomplishment.

PLDT Global Corporation increased its partnership with stc Group, a top digital and telco firm in Saudi Arabia, to offer seamless, secure, and reasonably priced international voice services. This enhanced PLDT Global's standing as a reputable cross-border connectivity provider and voice aggregator.

The company also collaborated with STC's Center3 digital infrastructure branch to address the increasing need for cloud computing, subsea capacity, and hyperscale data centers across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. PLDT Global also partnered with BBIX, one of the largest Internet exchange providers in Asia, to provide enterprises expanding in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond greater flexibility, scalability, and affordability.

PLDT Global expanded its solutions portfolio beyond connection with a partnership with Multisys, a 2025 Stevie® IBA Company of the Year for Computer Software, demonstrating the Philippines' ability to supply advanced, enterprise-grade software solutions globally.

Shaping the Future Beyond Connectivity

The 21st Asian Carriers Conference (ACC), with the theme "Shaping the Future Beyond Connectivity," brought together global industry experts to talk about how human connection is still crucial in the face of rapidly evolving technology that is transforming industries and promoting sustainability and innovation. Along with Philippine Airlines, the nation's flag airline, and all local telecom providers, PLDT Global showed the country's readiness to host the connectivity and data center needs in the Philippines.

Additionally, the ACC 2025 CSR effort, which focused on livelihood and education, was led by PLDT Global, PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF), and Samsung Philippines.

PLDT Global also provided free calls via TinBo's SVN for Filipinos affected by the Israel-Iran crisis, ensuring access to essential government services during emergencies without having to pay extra.

Staffhouse International Resources, one of the top hiring companies in the Philippines, partnered with PLDT Global to provide OFWs awaiting deployment with a complimentary six-month SVN. This allows OFWS to receive calls and texts from the Philippines, obtain OTPs from Philippine e-wallets, banks, and government apps, maintain a Philippine virtual mobile number while overseas, and make free calls to crucial government hotlines like the Department of Migrant Workers—Overseas Workers Welfare Administration Hotline 1348.

PLDT Global partnered with DMW and the mental health NGO Mind You to offer contact center agents and DMW employees specialized Mental Health First Aid training in observance of Mental Health Awareness Month in October. This training equipped frontline employees with the skills they needed to support distressed OFWs while managing their own resilience and wellbeing.

Celebrating Filipino Pride Overseas

Over 10,000 Filipinos traveled to Hong Kong for the four-day HK Fest Philippine Independence Day celebrations in June, which were organized by PLDT Global-Tinbo in partnership with MQuest Ventures and Philippine Airlines.

Acer Academy and Benilde taps technology to advance Deaf Education

“Education is one of our priority segments. We always believe in the power of education.
In the Philippines, we have a program called Acer Academy. As of now, we already have more than 400 members nationwide. More than providing devices, we are committed to keeping the partnership with Benilde in terms of immersion programs and partnering with students with disabilities.” ~Sue Ong-Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines

In Photo from L-R: Clare Mari Acuesta, Business Partner Lead – Acer Academy; Cristian Caoagas, Head of Product Management for Commercial Business – Acer Philippines; Sue Ong Lim, Managing Director – Acer Philippines; Angelo Marco Lacson, Vice-Chancellor for Academics - De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde; Bea Francisco – Dean, School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS), De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde; Sherlo Reyes, Director External Linkages - De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde

Acer Academy and the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) have teamed to provide learning devices for deaf students through the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS), a program dedicated to provide deaf Filipino learners an inclusive, high-quality education.

Acer Academy provided DLS-CSB with five Acer TravelMate laptops. These devices are intended to help SDEAS students complete academic assignments and digital coursework, engage in blended learning activities, access online learning platforms, and improve their digital literacy and employability.

“Many think that Benilde is a school for those who have, but it's not true. Yes, we have students like that, but many are struggling to make ends meet. We take many of our own initiatives for advancement. We look for partners like Acer, benefactors, and donors who can help us provide more education to the underprivileged and others, including persons with disabilities or those with special learning needs.” ~Angelo Marco Lacson, Vice-Chancellor for Academics, DLS-CSB
