After being in talks for years, it’s finally happening: Converge has inked a partnership with Starlink. This follows months after Converge parent company ComClark signed a partnership with Data Lake to help bring connectivity to more areas in the Philippines especially remote ones.
The partnership buildup between Converge and Starlink goes back to 2022, when the former agreed to lease fiber lines and ground equipment to SpaceX prior to Starlink’s entry in the Philippines—which happened in 2023.
The partnership aims to bring unparalleled, high-speed, low-latency satellite solutions to businesses and government sectors nationwide, and also makes Converge an authorized Starlink reseller.
“We’re among the few in the Philippines authorized 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,” Converge CEO Dennis Uy said.
“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,” Converge Singapore Managing Director Sherie Ng said. Converge Singapore is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Converge ICT Solutions, Inc.
By utilizing Starlink’s network, Converge can serve industries that demand reliable and resilient internet, which include construction, mining, agriculture, retail, and hospitality, in far-flung areas which are too expensive to reach via fiber connectivity.
Starlink delivers broadband internet with latency as low as 20-60 milliseconds and speeds of up to 200Mbps. This makes it ideal for high-definition video conferencing, real-time financial transactions, cloud computing, and even remote-controlled industrial operations.
By being an authorized Starlink reseller, Converge will offer end-to-end turnkey solutions, including installation, network management, monitoring, and maintenance. “This collaboration isn’t just about connectivity—it’s about bringing Starlink to Converge clients which will transform the way businesses operate in even the most challenging locations,” Uy adds.
