Digicel Tonga to offer Starlink Enterprise Internet

Nuku’alofa, Tonga – Wednesday, 2 October 2024

Digicel Tonga today announced the launch of Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet to its enterprise customers, reinforcing Digicel Tonga’s commitment to providing innovative connectivity solutions that empower our enterprise customers to meet their evolving needs.

Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet will be offered as part of Digicel Tonga’s enterprise product portfolio, complementing the existing suite of enterprise solutions.

Digicel Regional Pacific CEO, Shally Jannif, commented; “Working with Starlink is a testament to Digicel Pacific’s unwavering commitment to innovation allowing us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers. We are excited to offer Starlink’s enterprise services in Tonga, further enhancing our connectivity offerings.”

The benefits of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites revolve around their proximity to Earth, forming a ‘constellation’ that translates to reduced latency and improved data throughput, compared to more traditional options such as GEO satellite solutions. This provides an opportunity for customers who require lower latency connectivity for activities such as online meetings, presentations and video calls.

Digicel Tonga CEO, Daniel Horan, said; “Satellites have been a cornerstone of our communication infrastructure. With the advent of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, we’re witnessing a new era in satellite technology. Our Starlink Enterprise Internet plans are designed specifically for businesses, offering flexible options to cater to various needs.”

“We’ve been actively testing Starlink’s capabilities to understand how it can best serve our enterprise customers. Our trials demonstrate that it’s a promising option for businesses in need of reliable internet connectivity beyond traditional coverage areas,” added Daniel.

While fibre-based connectivity suits the needs of most enterprises, the addition of Starlink connectivity to Digicel Tonga’s suite enables high-speed internet in the most remote parts of the country, where traditional technologies aren’t as viable.

Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet is offered by Digicel Tonga based on its parent company Telstra’s reseller agreement with Starlink. Enterprise customers can contact our team on xxxxxxx to order a Starlink kit designed for easy self-installation, with Digicel Tonga technicians available for support if needed.
