- Globe and Starlink launch cell-to-satellite connectivity, improving mobile services and internet access in Southeast Asia.
- The partnership enables high-speed internet for remote areas, boosting communication and online operations during disasters.
- This collaboration enhances Globe's network and expands Starlink’s presence in Southeast Asia, improving digital inclusion.
With the successful launch of cell-to-satellite connectivity via Globe Telecom and SpaceX's Starlink, Southeast Asian Countries will now have access to improved mobile service through this collaboration due to increased access to internet service via Satellite Technology.
This is the beginning of much advancement in Telecommunications in the region; it will create opportunities for mobile communication and internet access to the people currently living in areas without reliable infrastructure or sufficient funding to build out that infrastructure.
The innovation enables Globe mobile subscribers to communicate and connect directly with the Starlink satellites without the need for cell sites.

The aim of the connection is to enable the internet at a high speed, facilitating communication and online operations in regions where the internet may not be readily available. The innovation will be a major boost for disaster areas where the internet network may not be stable due to natural disasters.
This project, initiated by Globe and Starlink, is extremely important for the Philippines because it comprises thousands of islands and has been dealing with issues related to connectivity. With this cell-to-satellite technology, more Filipinos would have easy access to important services such as emergency calling, health, and education.
This collaboration not only boosts the communication network resources of Globe but also represents a significant expansion of the Starlink network within the Southeast Asian market.
Through the development of this revolutionary technology, the two parties have the vision to enhance internet accessibility among the communities that have long experienced connectivity deprivation.
