Telefónica Global Solutions has partnered with Starlinkthe SpaceX subsidiary dedicated to connectivity through a satellite network, to offer Internet connection via satellite to companies located in Latin America and Spain. Thus, Telefónica has become a partner of Starlink, which will begin to offer its connection plans through the operator in Mexico. It will soon extend the offer to the rest of the countries in which it has a presence, starting with Peru, Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Spain.
Starlink uses a constellation of advanced Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband Internet around the world. Even in the most remote points. Also in rural environments, which are the ones that have traditionally been experiencing more connectivity problems.
The agreement will therefore allow Telefonica Global Solutions to complement the offer it currently has available, integrating Starlink’s solutions for companies, both for landlines and mobiles, into its portfolio of products and services.
Starlink business solutions began to be offered at the beginning of this year 2023. They are characterized by offering specific functions and elements for this type of customer, and have the possibility of being marketed through authorized distributors, such as Telefónica Global. Solutions.
This service offers, as we have mentioned, an Internet connection with high speed and low latency, in addition to the use of a dedicated terminal with greater progress and performance. Thanks to the latter, connectivity will have more availability, even when there are adverse weather conditions. It will also reach higher speeds, allowing you to reach 300 or even 350 Mpbs of download speeds.
Apart from this, the Starlink offer has a special terminal available with which it will be possible to work and have connectivity in vehicles, when the users of the service are working in mobility. Of course, it will have a specific data service for companies.
According to Julio Beamonte, CEO of Telefónica Global Solutions«the satellite industry is undergoing an unprecedented revolution. The satellite makes it possible to execute connectivity projects very quickly and efficiently. At Telefónica Global Solutions we have been offering value-added satellite solutions for many years and, with this alliance, we began to work hand in hand with Starlink Empresas to offer new generation solutions to our customers«.
