Data Lake deploys over 200 Starlink units

MANILA, Philippines — Sy-backed Data Lake Inc. has deployed over 200 Starlink enterprise units across the country to enable access to reliable and high-speed internet connectivity.

In a statement, the data company of Henry Sy Jr. and Anthony Almeda said more than 200 Starlink enterprise units have been deployed in the country for various industries including banking, maritime, mining, hospitality, education and remote field offices.

Data Lake is the first authorized reseller of Starlink in the Philippines.

In October last year, it signed an official reseller agreement with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) and Starlink Internet Services Inc.

With the partnership with SpaceX, Data Lake said the aim is to connect the country’s more than 7,000 islands to the global digital network to eliminate the digital divide.

To deliver broadband connectivity, Starlink uses a network of low earth orbit satellites.

“Starlink’s revolutionary system offers unparalleled internet speed and low latency, overcoming the challenges faced by traditional infrastructure in reaching remote regions of the Philippines,” Data Lake said.

Given its small power and physical footprint, Starlink is able to deliver seamless connectivity with minimal disruption.

Data Lake said new partnerships are being eyed with implementing partners to address the digital divide in education, agriculture and healthcare.

“These forthcoming collaborations will further bolster Data Lake Inc.’s commitment to bridging the gap and propelling the Philippines into a digitally inclusive future,” the company said.
