    Connecting Smarter Homes: LG ThinQ App Powers IoT Integration with 5G Network

    LG Philippines recently showcased its leadership in smart home technology through an exhibit collaboration with DITO HOME WOWFi, the world’s first 5G RedCap Wi-Fi for home. 

    LG Appliances featured in the DITO Home Smart Home display 

    This collaboration highlights LG’s commitment to enhancing smart home experiences by integrating LG appliances with DITO’s next-gen technology. The LG ThinQ App harnesses AI to optimize appliance performance and adapt to individual lifestyles, streamlining tasks by learning user preferences. With true 5G, users can enjoy smoother interactions between devices, allowing them to fully appreciate the seamless experience of AI-powered living.

    LG ThinQ App: The Heart of Smart Living

    A key element of LG’s involvement in the event was its focus on how the LG ThinQ App centralizes home control, acting as a bridge between the 5G internet connectivity and LG appliances. The LG ThinQ App powers an effortlessly connected IoT experience by enabling users to control, monitor, and manage a wide range of home appliances from anywhere—showing how the app is the ultimate tool for modern smart living. LG ThinQ empowers users to stay connected and in control, even on the go.

    Enhancing Convenience and Efficiency

    Featured in the DITO Home Smart home display were the following innovative LG appliances, each equipped with advanced features designed to boost your everyday routine:

    1. Remote Access and Control

    With the LG ThinQ app, users gain control over their appliances, enabling them to monitor and manage household tasks remotely. Imagine multitasking while doing laundry—manage your LG Objet WashTower™ from the comfort of your couch while using the ThinQ App as a remote while watching your favorite show on your LG OLED AI TV. You can even use the ThinQ app with your LG StanbyME, seamlessly controlling entertainment options while staying on top of your household chores from anywhere in your home. This level of control allows for a more balanced and organized lifestyle, freeing up time for leisure or other important activities.

    1. Smart Scheduling and Automation

    The LG ThinQ app provides easy scheduling and automation features that allow users to customize their appliance usage to fit their daily routines. You can set your appliances to turn on at specific times, ensuring your home remains optimal and comfortable. For instance, program your LG Puricare™ AeroTower™ to clean the air just before you arrive home. You can also keep an eye on your usage duration to ensure optimal performance. Like with the LG CordZero™ All-in-One Tower Vacuum, you can check battery life and receive notifications when it’s time to recharge, ensuring that your vacuum is always ready for efficient cleaning.

    1. Energy Consumption Insights

    The LG ThinQ app provides valuable insights into energy consumption, enabling homeowners to make informed decisions about their usage patterns. By tracking energy usage, users can identify trends and adjust settings to enhance efficiency, just like how the LG Objet InstaView™ Refrigerator, equipped with smart technology, helps keep food at peak freshness while consuming less energy, ultimately reducing utility costs. If you’re in the middle of cooking with your LG NeoChef™ Grill Microwave Oven and notice an issue, you can quickly troubleshoot any issues directly through the app. This feature ensures that the appliance operates effectively, minimizing downtime and preventing unnecessary energy waste. 

    5G and LG Appliances in Harmony

    The seamless integration of 5G internet with LG appliances, powered by the LG ThinQ app, enhances convenience, productivity, and sustainability in modern homes. By enabling faster, more reliable connections, LG Appliances operate optimally, allowing users to control and automate tasks easily. 

    Life’s about more than having the latest technology; it’s about the experiences technology creates that impact our lives. LG Electronics Philippines delivers top-of-the-line appliances that prepare Filipinos for their greatest moments.

  • DITO Home WOWFi: Powering The Future of Digital Homes

    DITO Home WOWFi: Powering The Future of Digital Homes

    DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telco in the country, is driving the future of digital homes as it recently launched its newest DITO Home WOWFi, the first 5G RedCap WiFi in the world for home use powered by DITO’s true 5G network. 

    According to Ms. Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business, this latest home broadband offering aims to provide Filipino households the home internet they need as they usher their way in this era of smart homes and digital innovations. 

    “As we embrace digital transformations, we come in as a young telco to help Filipinos thrive in the digital age, helping them connect, learn, and grow without barriers. Indeed, we can truly power the future of digital homes in the Philippines,” Jimenez said. 

    5G RedCap is a new 5G standard and critical evolution of 5G originally called NR Light, an essential part of lightweight 5G offering the right balance of 5G capabilities such as low latency, high peak data rate, and maximum capacity. 

    This emerging technology is globally used for industrial and manufacturing. But here in the Philippines, DITO is bringing this technology straight to Filipino homes, allowing households to enjoy the benefits of 5G at a very affordable price.

    “We are confident that RedCap will reshape how homes access the internet, providing an affordable, reliable, and high-performance alternative to existing technologies,” said Ret. Maj. Gen. Rodolfo Santiago, Chief Technology Officer of DITO Telecommunity.

    DITO officially launched its latest product offering during its recent Next-Gen Home Connectivity Media Conference on October 18. DITO gathered several technology experts to share their insights and perspectives about RedCap technology and its contribution to Filipino households’ digital transformations. 

    Guest speaker Abe Olandres, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Yugatech, shared that RedCap is a simplified and cost-effective 5G connection where users can enjoy the advantages of 5G without the need for high bandwidth. He also explained that RedCap only operates on 5G Standalone networks, which can deliver the true 5G experience to Filipino households. 

    “5G RedCap does not mean reduced benefits. On the contrary, it perfectly fits the needs for specific cases, uses and devices. It offers a great middle ground for a problem that’s been waiting for a reasonable solution since the mass adoption of 5G,” Olandres said. 

    Meanwhile, Art Samaniego, Information and Communications Technology Head of Manila Bulletin, discussed the numerous benefits of 5G RedCap to Filipino households, such as increased capacity for more devices, smart home innovation, stable performance for wearables, more reliable connection for remote work, online learning, and micro businesses. 

    “5G RedCap technology opens up incredible opportunities for Filipino households. From increased network capacity, to enhanced smart home automation, reliable connections for work and education, and improved performance of wearables, RedCap truly brings the future into our homes. It represents a smarter, safer, and more efficient way of living, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical everyday benefits,” Samaniego said. 

    Samaniego and Olandres also stressed that RedCap plays a vital role in the broader adoption of 5G.  This technology will connect more devices to 5G networks and expand the 5G ecosystem, which can drive the growth of 5G in the country. 

    Jasper Evangelista, DITO Brand and Marketing Director, highlighted the numerous advantages of the new DITO Home WOWFi. He stated, “As we introduce this new technology in the market, we want to debunk the notion that 5G is only for the elite or privileged. This product will make 5G more accessible to everyone, especially for the underserved market.” Evangelista added, “DITO Home WOWFi has the potential to truly power the future of digital homes across the Philippines.”

    During the media conference,  Evangelista, along with invited technology experts and guests like Jayvee Fernandez, technology editor of the Philippine Star, Joey Ong, founder of DadBudPH, and Cleo Loque, owner of Hiraya Pilipina,  discussed the importance of internet connectivity in their everyday lives. Fernandez highlighted a key benefit of DITO Home WOWFi—its wireless setup, which eliminates issues with cut wires. Meanwhile, Ong emphasized how the new technology supports parents working from home, while Loque shared how DITO Home WOWFI’s easy plug-and-play feature can help boost her productivity and support the growth of her online business.

    DITO Home WOWFi– Your All-Around Home WiFi

    Powered by DITO’s true 5G network, DITO Home WOWFi is the most value-packed wireless broadband in the market. Its starter kit is priced at Php 1,990 with complimentary unlimited 5G data and bonus 50GB 4G data for 30 days.  The succeeding monthly load option is only at Php 790 for 30 days with UNLI 5G and bonus 50GB 4G data, which only applies to 4G covered areas.
