Globe Telecom Partnered with STARLINK?!

Описание: The video titled "Globe Telecom Partnered with STARLINK?!" features Eric Tanbauco, Globe’s Head of Mobile, discussing the company's latest connectivity milestones.
​Key Highlights:
​Starlink Partnership: Globe is the first in the Philippines and Southeast Asia to bring Starlink's direct-to-cell satellite technology [02:08]. This technology allows standard LTE smartphones to connect to satellites for basic services like SMS and light messaging without needing specialized hardware or antennas [02:16].
​Successful Testing: Initial pilot tests were successfully completed in off-grid areas of Rizal, Batangas, and Bataan. Testers were able to send SMS, use apps like Viber and WhatsApp, and even access GCash and the eGov PH app in locations with no terrestrial signal [02:56].
​Disaster Resilience: The satellite layer is intended to act as a "lifeline" during typhoons and natural disasters, ensuring emergency responders and families stay connected when ground-based towers are damaged [03:50].
​Network Awards: For the year 2025, Ookla recognized Globe as the:
​Most consistent mobile network for the fourth consecutive year [04:57].
​Most consistent fixed (fiber) network [05:14].
​Network with the widest 5G coverage in the Philippines [05:24].
​Mission: Tanbauco emphasized that these innovations are part of Globe's goal to build a "digital nation" where no Filipino is left behind, regardless of their geographic location [06:29].
