PLDT Enterprise, the corporate arm of PLDT, has been named the first and only telecommunications unit in the Philippines authorized to resell Starlink, offering high-speed satellite internet to remote areas and supporting efforts to close the digital gap.
PLDT Enterprise will use Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology to help businesses in underserved and hard-to-reach locations. The service is expected to improve productivity, support daily operations, and drive growth for companies that have long faced limited connectivity.
“Through the integration of Starlink, we are extending the reach and resilience of our connectivity solutions, especially in areas where traditional infrastructure is limited,” said Mitch Locsin, FVP and head of Enterprise Core Business at PLDT and Smart.
Starlink’s satellite internet is seen to benefit industries that operate in remote locations or need backup connectivity. These include logistics, banking, agriculture, disaster response, and essential sectors like education and healthcare. It can also serve mobile operations such as transport hubs, which require internet access while in transit or areas with poor connectivity.
“Since it can route traffic to other gateways found in other locations, Starlink can keep businesses connected even during local terrestrial outages,” said Nico Alcoseba, FVP and head of Product Management and Global Capacity Strategy at PLDT Enterprise. “This makes it especially valuable for customers whose uninterrupted internet connection is mission critical.”
With Starlink’s LEO satellites added to PLDT’s network portfolio, the company now offers a wider range of end-to-end connectivity solutions for various environments and operational needs. These include Managed SD-WAN, Internet of Things (IoT), data centers, and cybersecurity services.
