Manila, Philippines – Fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions is working with global satellite internet constellation firm to deliver broadband internet to remote regions in the country. This collaboration aims to bring unparalleled, high-speed, low-latency satellite solutions to businesses and government sectors nationwide.
With Starlink’s high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity, Converge can serve industries that demand reliable and resilient internet, such as construction, mining, agriculture, retail, and hospitality, in far-flung areas which are too expensive to reach via fiber connectivity.
Moreover, as an authorised Starlink reseller, Converge offers end-to-end turnkey solutions, including installation, network management, monitoring, and maintenance.
Dennis Anthony Uy, CEO and co-founder at Converge said that this move is a vital step in the company’s evolution from a telecom provider to a full-fledged technology powerhouse.
“We’re among the few in the Philippines authorised by Starlink to resell its services—an acknowledgment of our deep market expertise and commitment to meeting the evolving needs of both enterprise and government clients. More importantly, this is about transforming the way businesses operate. We’re bringing solutions that empower industries to scale and innovate, even in the most remote areas,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sherie Ng, managing director of Converge Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Converge ICT Solutions, commented, “Converge already has a formidable fiber network across the country. But we believe that by beefing our satellite-powered connectivity solutions, we can charge full speed ahead in expanding our Global Business portfolio. This collaboration with Starlink is a key pillar to this aspiration.”
She added, “Many businesses operating in remote and underserved regions still struggle with unreliable internet. By integrating Starlink into our suite of products, we’re unlocking new opportunities for these industries and the countless Filipinos who depend on them.”
Plans to expand Starlink in the country began in 2022 when the Elon Musk-owned company entered the country as part of its Southeast Asian expansion.
At that time, Starlink Internet Services Philippines Inc. was registered as a Value-Added Service (VAS), and is mandated facilitate its operations in the country bringing the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet technology into a nation fraught with unstable internet connections.
