During this holiday season, mall goers usually line up for a picture opportunity with Santa Claus or take a pose beside the elegant Christmas trees and ornaments. But recently at SM Mall of Asia, shoppers got surprised when they noticed a different scenario. Instead of that big guy in red suit, people were taking photos of a group of handsome men in red and white, who instead of gifts were giving out free WiFi–both to the naughty and nice!
Audiences who were able to spot those Hotties and uploaded their pictures on social media also got the chance to win their own Huawei pocket WiFi devices and other exciting prizes.
#HuaweiHotspotHotties
Later uncovered via a mini fashion show as the #HuaweiHotspotHotties, the foreign models then led the shoppers to the Cyberzone event center where the latest line of Huawei pocket WiFi devices were showcased.
“The #HuaweiHotspotHotties characterized the sleek and elegant look of our new WiFi devices that are guaranteed to make heads turn for a second look, says Charles Wu country manager of Huawei’s consumer business group. “But more than just its refined and stunning appearance, Huawei’s new connectivity devices also delivers fast, uninterrupted 3G and LTE connectivity wherever you go.”
Wu also added that the event was held primarily to educate internet users on the advantages and features of the devices, allowing them to experience firsthand and explained why people asked for the Huawei brand when purchasing a pocket WiFi.
“Everybody wants a reliable internet connection, as the leading global ICT solutions provider, Huawei is known for building telecommunication networks around the world, as such, our strength lies in designing products that would work best with the current infrastructure of these mobile broadband networks,” says Wu.
Huawei Pocket WiFi “Always on” mentality
With the continued growth and increase in the number of mobile devices being used to access the internet, Filipinos have developed this “always on” mentality or that need to be always connected.
According to a study called Wave7, Filipinos have been using social media platforms 53 hours a week—11 hours more than the total global usage. Thus it comes as no surprise that from being the text messaging capital of the world, the Philippines has now become the social media capital of the world.
“Whether it’s to keep in touch with friends and family, share new experiences or meet new people, we are always looking for the best way to connect to the internet,” notes Jose Vega, Sales and Marketing Director, Huawei Device Philippines.
“One of the first things people ask about as soon as they arrive at their destination– whether its a hotel, a restaurant or even at a friend’s house is for the Wi-Fi password, but since not all venues could handle the number of people connecting to their routers, internet connection can be very slow– that is if you can even connect in the first place. That is why having your own Pocket WiFi device remains the best and most convenient solution especially if you are travelling with your family or friends and need to connect several devices at a time,” he added.
“When you get a Huawei pocket WiFi, you don’t have to ask for passwords anymore because you instantly become the hotspot everyone would be searching for instead.”
I believe so, spot the #HotspotHottie below (clue: right in the middle 😉 ) :

Our modems in the states are a bit different unless I use a hotspot to connect too. Most of the restaurants and stores have free wifi available too. Being always “on” has its advantages and disadvantages.
