<p>Globe AT HOME has taken a major step toward sustainable innovation by becoming the first telco in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region to launch an AI-powered partnership with FusionSolar, creating smarter, greener homes for Filipino families.</p>



<p>Globe Senior Advisor Danny Theseira highlighted FusionSolar’s capabilities, emphasizing the company’s commitment to future-focused, energy-efficient solutions.

<p><strong><a href="https://homepremium.infinivan.com/">InfiniVAN Home Premium</a></strong>, the residential fiber challenger bringing Japan‑grade reliability to Philippine homes, is taking home connectivity to the next level. Affiliated with <strong><a href="https://ipsism.co.jp/en/">IPS Inc.</a></strong>, a Tier 1 telecommunications company in Japan, InfiniVAN pairs fast, low‑latency internet with transparent service, guaranteed minimum speeds, and 24/7 support. After debuting its ULTRA Plans for condo dwellers, the brand now offers smart add-ons designed to enhance coverage, home security, and hands‑free control.</p>



<p><strong>Smart add-ons for modern homes</strong></p>



<p><strong>Mesh Wi‑Fi systems</strong><br>Dead zones remain a common challenge in dense buildings. InfiniVAN’s mesh systems spread a stable signal across rooms and floors, ensuring smooth streaming, video calls, and gaming without having to stay close to the router. Featured options include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MeshForce M3</li>



<li>TP‑Link Deco X10</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Smart security cameras</strong><br>Keep an eye on your home from anywhere with smart cameras offering crisp video and mobile alerts. Check on your front door, pets, or deliveries without complicated setups:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Eufy Security C210</li>



<li>TP‑Link Tapo C200</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Voice control devices</strong><br>Hands‑free control for lights, music, routines, and compatible smart devices, making movement around the home effortless:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa</li>



<li>Google Nest Mini</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Deals for smart switchers</strong><br><br>New subscribers who switch to InfiniVAN Home Premium enjoy 50% off their monthly fee for the first three months. Existing subscribers are encouraged to leave reviews on Facebook and Google, providing feedback while earning exclusive rewards.</p>



<p><strong>Availability and expansion</strong><br><br>Currently, InfiniVAN Home Premium is available in select Metro Manila condos, targeting device-heavy households where reliable, high-speed fiber matters most. Expansion plans are underway for Metro Cebu and Metro Davao, along with longer-term options for more budget-friendly plans to bring high-quality connectivity to more homes.</p>



<p><strong>What sets InfiniVAN apart</strong><br><br>As competition in the Philippine fiber market heats up, the real differentiator isn’t just speed—it’s the overall home experience. InfiniVAN’s combination of mesh coverage, smart security, and voice control with its ULTRA Plans directly addresses everyday pain points: patchy signals, peace-of-mind monitoring, and convenient hands-free operation.</p>
