PETALING JAYA: REDtone Digital Bhd has inked an authorised reseller agreement with SpaceX to offer Starlink satellite-based high speed internet services across Malaysia.
With REDtone’s team of more than 150 engineers across the country, the company can quickly deploy Starlink’s broadband services to users in remote locations as well as areas with geographical and environmental constraints.
REDtone CEO Lau Bik Soon said, “Our strength as a network integrator will enable us to offer seamless satellite-based services to government and enterprise customers.
“We are targeting sectors which are showing an increasing reliance on satellite services such as oil and gas, telecommunications, shipping and maritime, financial services and plantations. These are expected be a significant driver of satellite market growth in the country and will enhance the company’s profitability.”
The satellite market in Malaysia is estimated to be worth US$4.2 billion (RM19.7 billion) by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 10.9%.
Lau said, “Today, we also take another step forward to help realise the government’s vision to achieve 100% internet access in populated areas. About 3% of Malaysia’s population are residing in areas with little or no internet connectivity. This is where we come in to fill the broadband gap via satellite, to enable economic growth, provide access to education and healthcare, and enhance public safety.”
REDtone is one of the leading providers of Universal Service Provision. The company is assisting the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to deploy Starlink satellite services to connect various rural communities across the country.
Currently, there are some 5,000 Starlink satellites in orbit and Starlink has started launching the Gen 2 satellites which promise enhanced speeds. This will enable Starlink to provide digital support to every corner: connecting the unconnected and bridging the digital divide in Malaysia.
As of September Starlink connects more than two million active customers in more than 60 countries.
