In a historic leap for Philippine connectivity, PLDT Enterprise, the corporate arm of PLDT, has become the country’s first and only telecom provider authorized to resell Starlink. This groundbreaking move brings world-class satellite internet to even the most remote corners of the nation, breaking through barriers that have long left communities and industries digitally isolated.
With Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology, PLDT Enterprise can now empower businesses in hard-to-reach areas with high-speed, low-latency internet — a game-changer for operations that have struggled with unreliable connectivity. From farms in the mountains to banks in far-flung towns, the new service promises to boost productivity, spark innovation, and open doors to global opportunities.
Beyond boundaries: Internet that goes where fiber can’t
Starlink’s satellite network bridges the gap where traditional infrastructure falls short, making it a perfect complement to PLDT Enterprise’s existing suite of fiber, wireless, and managed services. Together, they create a powerful, nationwide connectivity ecosystem capable of serving diverse industries — from logistics and agriculture to disaster response, education, healthcare, and even transport hubs that require reliable internet on the move.
“By integrating Starlink into our solutions, we’re extending the reach and resilience of our network to places where traditional infrastructure can’t go,” said Mitch Locsin, first vice president and head of Enterprise Core Business at PLDT and Smart. “This ensures our clients can operate with agility, drive innovation, and accelerate their digital transformation — wherever they are in the country.”
Connectivity you can count on — even during outages
One of Starlink’s key strengths is reliability. Its ability to route traffic through different gateways means that even if a local terrestrial network goes down, businesses can stay online — a vital advantage for industries where downtime is not an option.
“Starlink adds another layer of reliability to our connectivity solutions,” noted Nico Alcoseba, first vice president and head of Product Management and Global Capacity Strategy at PLDT Enterprise. “It’s especially valuable for customers whose operations depend on uninterrupted internet access.”
Powering the nation’s digital future
The integration of Starlink aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in advancing digital infrastructure, inclusive growth, and sustainable innovation. By expanding access to reliable internet, PLDT Enterprise isn’t just solving connectivity problems — it’s laying the foundation for long-term economic development.
With the combined power of Starlink satellites, PLDT Fiber, and 5G, businesses of all sizes can now thrive in the digital economy, no matter where they’re located. It’s more than just a tech upgrade — it’s a commitment to building a more connected, empowered Philippines.
