PANews reported on May 14 that Bitget announced that it would improve network infrastructure in remote areas of the Philippines through 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 the local problems of 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 limited infrastructure, local residents mainly relied on microwave radio frequency communications, which were frequently interrupted and slow, 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.
