In addition, Guam and CNMI Home Internet, BEAM and data subscribers can enjoy high-speed connectivity to OneQode\u2019s services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil now, Guam and CNMI locals have had subpar connectivity to our Guam gaming hub, but that\u2019s now starting to change thanks to IT&#038;E,\u201d said Matt Shearing, OneQode\u2019s chief executive officer. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be interconnected with IT&#038;E, working together to drive the gaming experience in the region forward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Guam Gaming Hub has already been a part of a major gaming event. OneQode, in partnership with Australian tournament organizer Oceanic Esports, hosted a five-day CS:GO tournament in May that included 96 total participants from nine different countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur collaboration with OneQode is ideal for providing gamers in the Asia-Pacific region with connections they need. We\u2019re thrilled that our world-class services will help highlight Guam as an epicenter for telecommunications,\u201d said IT&#038;E CEO Jim Oehlerking.<\/p>\n<p>IT&#038;E will continue to find opportunities to elevate its products and services for Guam, the Marianas and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>OneQode is a global Infrastructure-as-a Service provider for gaming and real-time applications.
