Building on the success of their partnership last year Smart Communications, Inc. is once again supporting McDonald’s Philippines in its initiative to turn 250 unused party rooms in select branches into McDonald’s Classrooms.
To ensure they can connect to fast and reliable internet for their e-learning, Smart has turned over Smart Bro Prepaid Pocket WiFi Advance kits for use at all the participating McDonald’s Classrooms across the country. This year’s program also adds 200 more branches to last year’s figure to cater to more users.
Powered by Smart Bro Prepaid Pocket WiFi Advance, teachers and students may enjoy twice the speed of regular LTE Pocket WiFi devices because of a feature called Carrier Aggregation, which enables the device to combine multiple signals from different cell sites for a much faster and more reliable connection. The device also connects up to 10 WiFi-enabled devices for easier sharing and worry-free surfing among multiple users.
Started last Oct. 11, McDonald’s Classrooms will run until December 3 to cater to fully-vaccinated teachers and students aged 18 years and above.
To ensure the safety of users, only two teachers or students are allowed to use the free service at two available timeslots: 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Each user also needs to reserve a slot at participating branches. To know more about McDonald’s Classrooms’ guidelines, visit https://mcdonalds.com.ph/mcdoclassroom.
