Comclark Network and Technology Corp., the parent company of Converge ICT Solutions Inc., teamed up with Data Lake Inc., the Philippines’ largest authorized reseller of Starlink satellite internet, to expand internet access across the country.
The collaboration between the two companies aims to bridge the digital divide by bringing broadband connectivity to the most remote islands.
Under the agreement, Data Lake will provide managed services utilizing Starlink to enhance the strength and resilience of the Comclark network.
“We have always believed that digital connectivity is a right of everyone so this collaboration with Data Lake brings us closer to realizing that vision to connect every Filipino using world-class broadband technologies,” Comclark and Converge chief executive Dennis Anthony Uy said.
Uy said satellite connectivity complements Converge fiber broadband services as satellite signals can reach remote islands or mountainous areas which may be difficult to reach by fiber optic cables and also provide quality backup connections for critical infrastructure.
“We are pleased to partner with Comclark in bringing world-class Starlink satellite internet to more Filipinos across the country,” Data Lake chairman Henry Sy Jr. said.
Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by Starlink Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American aerospace company SpaceX, providing coverage to 80 countries.
Data Lake vice chairman and chief executive Anthony Almeda said the company is ready to work with Comclark to support the Philippine government and private organizations with Data Lake Managed Services and Starlink capabilities.
“We hope that this is just the beginning of our technology cooperation with Comclark and the Converge Group,” Almeda said.
