Digicel Fiji has introduced its new Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet service, broadening its connectivity solutions for businesses.
This service, part of Digicel Fiji’s enterprise portfolio, complements existing offerings and enhances customer connectivity options.
Shally Jannif, CEO of Digicel Regional Pacific HUB Markets, stated that partnering with Starlink demonstrates Digicel Pacific’s commitment to innovation, enabling the company to deliver cutting-edge solutions. She added that Starlink’s enterprise services in Fiji would strengthen the country’s connectivity offerings.
The use of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, which orbit closer to Earth, reduces latency and improves data speeds compared to traditional satellite systems. This makes Starlink an ideal option for businesses that require low-latency connections for activities such as video conferencing and online presentations.
Digicel Fiji CEO Farid Mohammed explained that the team had conducted tests in various locations to determine Starlink’s suitability for enterprise clients. He reported that the results showed Starlink is reliable for businesses that require stable internet access, particularly in areas where traditional coverage is limited.
While fibre-based connections are sufficient for most enterprises, Mohammed noted that Starlink provides high-speed internet in remote regions where other technologies face challenges.
Digicel Pacific Starlink Enterprise Internet is available through Digicel Fiji’s parent company, Telstra, under a reseller agreement with Starlink. Enterprise customers can reach out to Digicel Fiji to order a Starlink kit, which is designed for easy self-installation.
