Digicel Fiji has introduced its new Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet service for its enterprise clients, made possible through a reseller agreement with Starlink via its parent company, Telstra.
This offering will be included in Digicel Fiji’s existing enterprise product lineup, enhancing its current range of business solutions. Shally Jannif, the Chief Executive Officer for Digicel’s regional Pacific HUB Markets, stated that collaborating with Starlink demonstrates Digicel Pacific’s commitment to innovation, enabling them to provide advanced solutions to their customers.
“We are thrilled to introduce Starlink’s enterprise services in Fiji, further improving our connectivity options,” said Mr. Jannif.
Starlink is recognized for its constellation of broadband internet satellites operating in low Earth orbit (LEO), pioneering this technology.
The advantages of LEO satellites stem from their proximity to the Earth, which creates a constellation that leads to lower latency and increased data throughput when compared to traditional Geostationary orbit (GEO) satellite systems. This advancement presents an opportunity for customers needing quicker connectivity for activities such as online meetings, presentations, and video calls.
Farid Mohammed, CEO of Digicel Fiji, remarked on the launch, stating, “We are entering an exciting new phase in satellite technology with the arrival of LEO satellites.”
“Our Starlink Enterprise Internet plans are customized for enterprise clients, offering various options to cater to different requirements,” Mr. Mohammed explained.
“Our team has been diligently testing the Starlink service in the field to find the best ways to deliver it to our enterprise clientele. The findings confirm that it is an excellent solution for businesses needing reliable internet outside traditional service areas.”
While fiber-optic connectivity meets the needs of many enterprises, Mr. Mohammed noted that adding Starlink to Digicel Fiji’s offerings will provide high-speed internet to the most remote regions of the country, where conventional technologies may not be feasible.
