Sy-led Data Lake, Inc. has cemented a teaming agreement with DFNN, Inc. to reinforce internet connectivity in the country by bolstering up Starlink’s presence with suite of offers on complementary technology, sales channels as well as marketing expertise.

Businessman Ramon Garcia Jr, who is the chairman of publicly listed DFNN, can be credited for actively contributing “to Starlink’s entry into the country by assisting in the passage of enabling laws that made the business a viable domestic enterprise,” according to Data Lake.

It was emphasized that “the link-up will leverage DFNN’s historic pioneering initiatives in technology with Data Lake’s founders’ experience and business track record.”

Data Lake, in particular, is a flourishing technology company which is the authorized reseller and integrator of Starlink in the region. This firm is led by tycoon Henry Sy Jr., in partnership with businessman Anthony Almeda.

Through this thriving business function, Data Lake is targeting to revolutionize the country’s digital landscape by breaking down barriers on long-time predicaments of internet access lack hamstringing many Filipinos, especially those in the countryside.

Via its tie-up with DFNN, Data Lake emphasized that they would be able to “fast-track connectivity of geographically isolated and disadvantageous areas (GIDA) with the use of Starlink’s low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and complimentary technologies thereby expanding the digital infrastructure of the country integral to the global digital economy.”

With faster internet speeds and broader access that they could offer to users, it’s not only the digital divide between urban and rural areas that could be plugged; but wide-ranging possibilities could also be opened up as more and more sectors of the economy are getting electronically-wired.

In the experience of many markets, enhanced internet connectivity is not just transforming the way people live, but this also serves as the main catalyst for innovation – especially with the growing incursion of cloud computing as well as artificial intelligence (AI)-driven applications.

These all-inclusive developments in the information and communications technology (ICT) space are indeed turning the industry players as ‘the undisputed’ kings’ that will propel countries and economies into unprecedented pace of progress.
