I had so much support when I knew they were flying in there to support me, to have a watch-party pa dito sa Philippines. So, thank you so much for giving that opportunity, for everyone here in the Philippines to watch with me or watch with them kung ano yung nangyayari sa Miss Universe. So, all throughout I never felt like I was alone, I think I have always been open to my story na I don’t have so much resources. But with BingoPlus, you have all the capabilities that you can have, so I am forever grateful.” ~Chelsea Manalo, Miss Universe Asia 

When asked about her memories of the competition, she emphasized how powerful she felt to be able to represent her nation on stage. She claims that her favorite memory of the brand is the send-off party because she felt so supported that it gave her the courage to compete.

Get Fast, Broad, and Effortless Connectivity with the New HUAWEI WiFi Routers

With its new Wi-Fi router lineup, Huawei intends to transform home connectivity. The HUAWEI WiFi BE3, AX3, and AX1 are now available in the Philippines. These routers, which are easy to install and provide blazing-fast speeds with broad coverage, are redefining how modern users stay connected.

The new HUAWEI routers are available starting December 12.

HUAWEI WiFi BE3: Wi-Fi 7 Power at Your Fingertips

The HUAWEI WiFi BE3 uses Wi-Fi 7 technology to deliver blazing-fast speeds and powerful features designed for modern connected lifestyles. The router is the ideal solution for seamless and dependable connectivity. The HUAWEI WiFi BE3 can reach speeds of up to 3.6Gbps, ensuring that users' devices perform to their full potential. Whether users are enjoying seamless 4K/8K streaming, immersive AV/VR gaming, or ultra-fast downloads, HUAWEI's newest router handles it all with ease.

The router's Multi-Link Operation (MLO) takes connectivity to the next level by aggregating both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, resulting in faster speeds, lower latency, and load balancing for a more seamless online experience. The router also has a 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN port and three 1Gbps WAN/LAN ports to break through the bandwidth bottleneck, allowing users to fully utilize the Gigabit broadband speeds for their devices. The Power Amplifiers (PA) and FEM technology on the HUAWEI Wi-Fi BE3 allow the router's Wi-Fi signals to penetrate any obstacles, extending Wi-Fi coverage and ensuring that devices are powered with fast internet speeds wherever they are at home. 

The HUAWEI WiFi BE3 is as simple to set up as it is powerful with the HUAWEI AI Life App. This allows users to configure their router in three simple steps. With a single tap, the app generates a Wi-Fi coverage heatmap, allowing users to view network coverage in real time. The app also allows users to diagnose connection issues and receive optimization tips. This also provides users with Parental Controls, which allow them to monitor and manage their families' online activity.

The router supports HUAWEI HomeSec™, which protects network connectivity with WPA 3.0, Wi-Fi encryption, anti-brute force cracking, and the Guest Wi-Fi feature.

HUAWEI WiFi AX3 and HUAWEI WiFi AX1: Fast, Effortless Connection

HUAWEI also offers the HUAWEI WiFi AX3, a router that supports W-Fi 6 Plus. With unrivaled speed, smarter coverage, and simple setup, this router is the ideal companion for households that require dependable network performance. The dual-band router supports speeds of up to 3Gbps, with 2,402Mbps on the 5GHz band and 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, allowing for faster downloads and endless streaming. 

The HUAWEI WiFi AX1 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router. This achieves speeds of up to 1,200Mbps on the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. The HUAWEI WiFi AX3 and HUAWEI WiFi AX1 use HarmonyOS Mesh+, which wirelessly connects multiple routers to form a unified Wi-Fi network. This allows for smoother roaming and eliminates freezes during large-scale online activities. Users' devices will automatically switch to an optimal band connection based on their location and activity. This ensures users have the best possible connection at all times.

The Huawei WiFi AX3 and AX1 make it simple to set up and manage network connections. Similar to the HUAWEI WiFi BE3, users can configure the routers in three simple steps using the HUAWEI AI Life app. The app also lets you monitor connected devices, set speed limits, manage guest access, schedule Wi-Fi usage, and even pause connectivity for specific devices. It also includes network diagnostic tools, such as a Wi-Fi coverage map, to help users optimize their networks and troubleshoot problems quickly. With four Gigabit Ethernet ports and WAN/LAN auto-adaptation, the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 simplifies the installation and configuration of broadband connections by eliminating the need to identify specific ports.

For enhanced network security, the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 and HUAWEI WiFi AX1 also come with HUAWEI HomeSec™ technology.

Upgrade Your Home Network with the Latest HUAWEI WiFi Routers
