PLDT x Starlink partnership |
Expanding connectivity across the Philippines
PLDT Enterprise, the corporate arm of PLDT, has formed a partnership with Starlink, making it the first and only telecom unit in the Philippines authorized to resell Starlink.
By leveraging Starlink's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology, PLDT Enterprise aims to support businesses in underserved and hard-to-reach locations. The solution boosts productivity, supports operations, and fuels growth for companies that have long struggled with limited connectivity, PLDT said in a statement.
The unit's integration of Starlink is part of its parent company's much broader commitment to expanding digital access in the country. Starlink's service complements PLDT Enterprise's existing offerings, including fiber, wireless, and managed services, ensuring better coverage and performance across industries.
Starlink's satellite internet is useful for industries in remote or underserved areas or those requiring backup connectivity. These include logistics, banking, agriculture, disaster response, and essential sectors like education and healthcare. Mobile industries like transport hubs, that require internet access while in transit or in destinations with limited connectivity, will also benefit from this network coverage.
By adding Starlink's LEO satellite technology to its lineup, PLDT Enterprise now offers a more robust suite of end-to-end connectivity solutions fit for a range of environments and operational demands, PLDT said.
With the integration of Starlink's LEO satellites to PLDT's existing technologies like Fiber and 5G, all kinds of businesses can access a more reliable internet connection, even those in unreachable areas.
