Converge ICT Solutions Inc. teamed up with Starlink, the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet to remote regions in the country.
The collaboration aims to bring unparalleled, high-speed, low-latency satellite solutions to businesses and government sectors nationwide.
“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,” said Converge chief executive and co-founder Dennis Anthony Uy.
“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,” he said.
Sherie Ng, managing director of Converge Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Converge, said many businesses operating in remote and underserved regions still struggle with unreliable internet.
“By integrating Starlink into our suite of products, we’re unlocking new opportunities for these industries and the countless Filipinos who depend on them,” she said.
With Starlink’s high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity, Converge can serve industries that demand reliable and resilient internet, such as construction, mining, agriculture, retail, and hospitality, in far-flung areas which are too expensive to reach via fiber connectivity.
“Beyond serving primary business needs, this collaboration provides redundancy solutions also for enterprises that require a secondary, always-on connectivity backup,” said Ng.
Converge also teamed up with NASDAQ-listed Ribbon Communications Inc. to boost its network in response to the growing need for high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity.
Converge will leverage Ribbon’s advanced Muse Multilayer Automation Platform (MAP) designed to maximize the value of IP Optical network investments through comprehensive control, analysis, design, and planning applications.
Its powerful low-code automation and customization engines allow Converge to optimize its resources and maintain peak network performance.
Converge said it is accelerating its network automation journey by leveraging Ribbon’s Muse platform and AI capabilities.
“We are planning important developments in the products and services we offer to our customers, and it’s vital that our infrastructure can support these. Adopting this new technology is essential for effectively managing large amounts of data from IoT applications, cloud services, and future innovations,” Uy said.
“We are delighted to support Converge in enhancing their network, which has been acknowledged as one of the most advanced in the Philippines. Our cutting-edge technology delivers exceptional performance, enabling companies like Converge to even strengthen their competitive advantage,” said Bruce McClelland, Ribbon Communications chief executive and president.
