Transpacific Broadband Group International (TBGI) is in talks with major low earth orbit satellite operators (LEOSAT) including American billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink for the rollout of broadband technology in the Philippines by 2022.

Starlink, a division of Musk’s American aerospace company SpaceX, operates around 1,500 low-earth orbit satellites into space and has previously announced its firm intention to expand in the Philippines.

“We are excited about the unlimited prospects of empowering government units, businesses and millions of Filipino households with advanced satellite internet services to meet their growing requirements for fast and reliable connectivity.

LEOSAT technology offers a unique combination of affordability, speed, flexibility, ease-of-setup and a 27-millisecond low-latency bandwidth to deliver a superior online experience in the next level internet-of-things,” said businessman Arsenio Ng’s TBGI.

Apart from this, TBGI disclosed that it entered into a partnership with ABS Global Ltd. for the development and maintenance of multiple state-of-the-art earth stations in strategic areas nationwide specifically for LEOSAT connectivity.

TBGI has distributed over 1,500 Very-Small-Aperture-Terminals (VSAT) in various sites across the country, primarily catering to underserved or unserved locations.

Among its diverse clientele include private and public schools, hospitals, banks, local government units, telecommunications, mining companies, power generators, multimedia content creators and major retail chains.

The company earlier secured renewal of its congressional franchise for another 25 years to connect to unlimited number of satellites and transmission within the country.
