Philippine technology services provider Comclark Network and Technology Corp. and data services company Data Lake Inc., have inked a memorandum of agreement (MOA) this Thursday to expand the coverage of Starlink in the Philippines and provide broadband connectivity to even the most remote islands in the country.
Data Lake is the largest and first authorized Starlink low earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based internet reseller and integrator in the Philippines. Comclark is the parent company of leading fiber internet provider in the country, Converge ICT Solutions Inc., which is primarily engaged in the business of systems integration and outsourcing information and communications technology services.
“We have always believed that digital connectivity is a right of everyone so this collaboration with Data Lake brings us closer to realizing that vision to connect every Filipino using world-class broadband technologies,” Comclark and Converge CEO, Dennis Anthony Uy said.
Uy noted that satellite connectivity complements Converge fiber broadband services as satellite signals can reach remote islands or mountainous areas which may be difficult to reach by fiber optic cables and also provide quality backup connections for critical infrastructure.
“We are pleased to partner with Comclark in bringing world-class Starlink satellite internet to more Filipinos across the country,” Data Lake Chairman Henry Sy Jr. said. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by Starlink Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American aerospace company SpaceX, providing coverage to 80 countries.
Data Lake Vice Chairman and CEO Anthony Almeda said the company stands ready to work with Comclark to support the Philippine government and private organizations with Data Lake Managed Services and Starlink capabilities.
“We hope that this is just the beginning of our technology cooperation with Comclark and the Converge Group,” Almeda said.
Under the agreement, Data Lake will provide managed services utilizing Starlink further to enhance the strength and resilience of the Comclark network.
Converge has booked strong financial and operating gains in the first quarter of 2025 as its consolidated revenues grew by 13.2 percent to P10.8 billion and net income jumped by 18.3 percent to P3 billion year-on-year.
