Robi Axiata PLC has signed an agreement with Starlink, becoming the nation鈥檚 first telecom operator to be an authorised enterprise reseller of Starlink products and services in Bangladesh, said a press release.
As part of the agreement, Robi will be able to offer two service tiers of Starlink 鈥� local priority and global priority 鈥� catering to both fixed and portable use cases.
Once introduced, these solutions are expected to support critical digital applications such as video conferencing, e-learning, cloud computing and digital commerce, thereby helping to bridge the digital divide across the country, it said.
Robi plans to distribute Starlink services through its enterprise sales channels and authorised retail outlets, along with community-sharing Wi-Fi solutions to promote affordable internet access in rural areas.
Shihab Ahmad, chief commercial officer of Robi, said, 鈥楾his initiative represents a transformative step toward bridging Bangladesh鈥檚 digital divide. By enabling high-speed satellite internet for remote and underserved regions, Robi is paving the way for communities to access vital digital services, fostering inclusion, innovation and sustainable progress.鈥�
This agreement marks a significant step toward extending reliable satellite internet connectivity to enterprises, government institutions, educational establishments, healthcare facilities, and underserved rural communities 鈥� particularly in regions where conventional network infrastructure is limited or unavailable, the release said.
