Odaily Planet Daily News Bitget announced that it will improve the network infrastructure in remote areas of the Philippines through the satellite Internet deployed by the Starlink Project. The first coverage points include Espoir School of Life and Barangay Pitogo on Siargao Island.
The plan introduces Starlink satellite equipment to provide free high-speed Internet for six months to local areas, aiming to improve local problems such as insufficient educational resources and poor communications. Bitget said that in the future, it will further provide skills training and resource support for local students and women's cooperatives through its "Blockchain4Youth" and "Blockchain4Her" projects.
Previously, due to infrastructure limitations, local residents mainly relied on microwave radio frequency communications, with frequent network interruptions and slow speeds, making it difficult to meet basic needs such as online learning and telemedicine. This satellite network access will improve the above problems and provide more stable information services to the local area.
