DITO Telecommunity Corp., the country’s third major telecom provider, is set to revolutionize home internet with its 5G-powered WOWFi service. With plans to double its home broadband subscribers by 2025, DITO offers an affordable and unlimited 5G home broadband solution, marking a significant step in improving the connectivity landscape of the Philippines.

DITO, a subsidiary of DITO CME Holdings Corp. (stock: DITO) and part of Dennis Uy’s Udenna Corp., has introduced its groundbreaking RedCap WOWFi, the world’s first 5G RedCap Wi-Fi designed specifically for residential use. With over 100,000 home broadband subscribers already on board, the company aims to reach 150,000 subscribers by the end of this year and double that number to 300,000 in 2025.

Evelyn Jimenez, DITO’s Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business, shared the company’s high ambitions:
"We want to jolt Filipinos out of their old ways of dealing with slow or expensive internet. Our goal is to provide life-changing home Wi-Fi that’s fast, affordable, and unlimited."

5G RedCap (also known as NR-Light) is a new standard in 5G technology, offering users the full benefits of 5G on Standalone (SA) networks. Unlike traditional 5G networks, which often rely on 4G infrastructure, Standalone 5G is a “true 5G” experience, delivering higher capacity, superior quality, and lower latency.

The introduction of RedCap WOWFi will bring faster internet speeds to Filipino homes, with download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps), surpassing many of the current internet service options available in the country.

Currently, many Filipino households face limited internet options. Fast internet is often expensive, or affordable options lack speed and reliability. DITO aims to change this reality. With RedCap WOWFi, users can now enjoy a fast, unlimited, and affordable internet solution that suits their home and lifestyle needs. This innovation is a game-changer for families who rely on the internet for work, entertainment, and education.

DITO is also the only telco in the Philippines with a fully standalone 5G network, giving it a unique advantage in delivering the highest quality home broadband services. The company is working closely with Huawei Technologies to roll out this next-generation technology.

Beyond delivering fast internet, DITO’s WOWFi is also preparing homes for the future of the Internet of Things (IoT). As more households adopt smart home technologies—such as smart appliances, security systems, and voice-controlled devices—reliable high-speed internet will be crucial. With WOWFi, DITO is laying the foundation for the digital transformation of Filipino homes.

"We want Filipinos to live big and embrace the digital future. WOWFi is not just about faster internet, but also about supporting innovations like IoT and smart home applications," Jimenez added.

As the digital economy grows in the Philippines, the demand for reliable, high-speed internet continues to rise. DITO’s 5G RedCap technology is set to drive the growth of digital services, e-commerce, and other internet-dependent sectors, benefiting not only individual households but also small businesses and the economy as a whole.

DITO’s commitment to affordability without compromising on quality is poised to disrupt the current broadband market, offering an attractive alternative to the existing options. With their ambitious goal of doubling their subscriber base by 2025, DITO is positioning itself as a key player in the country's digital future.

DITO’s 5G RedCap WOWFi service is set to redefine home internet for Filipinos by offering a fast, affordable, and unlimited broadband solution. With a focus on true 5G technology and future-ready applications like IoT, DITO is not only addressing the present needs of Filipino households but also paving the way for a more connected and digitally advanced future.
