Telefónica expands connectivity for businesses across the globe via Starlink

Madrid, 8 August 2023.- Telefónica, through its global business unit Telefónica Global Solutions (TGS), announced today that has become an authorized worldwide partner of SpaceX’s ., the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation of highly advanced satellites delivering high-speed, low-latency broadband internet across the globe, even in the most rural and remote locations. With this agreement, TGS will be able to complement its existing offering by integrating Starlink’s Enterprise solutions (fixed or mobile) into its global portfolio.

Starlink launched its Enterprise solutions in early 2023, with enhanced features and a focus on business customers, with the possibility of being marketed through authorized distributors, such as Telefónica Global Solutions. The main features of the Enterprise service are:

• High-speed, low-latency broadband internet that allows new use cases that historically have not been possible with satellite internet.
• Use of a dedicated terminal with wider reach and increased performance. This results in higher availability in adverse weather conditions and higher speeds, up to 300-350 Mbps download.
• Availability of a special terminal able to work in mobility in vehicles.
• Enterprise data service.

“The satellite industry is undergoing an unprecedent revolution. Satellite enables connectivity projects to be executed very quickly and efficiently. At Telefónica Global Solutions, we have been offering added value satellite solutions for many years and with this partnership, we start working hand in hand with Starlink Enterprise to offer new generation solutions to our customers.”

Julio BEAMONTE
CEO Telefónica Global Solutions

The operation is already underway in Mexico and will be progressively extended to other countries throughout the year, starting with Peru, Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Spain (Europe). The Telefónica Global Solutions team will gradually promote the commercial opening in the remaining markets.
