PANews May 14 news, Bitget announced the improvement of network infrastructure in remote areas of the Philippines through the satellite internet deployed by the Starlink program. The first coverage points include the Espoir School of Life on Siargao Island and Barangay Pitogo.
The program introduces Starlink satellite equipment to provide six months of free high-speed internet to local areas, aiming to improve issues such as insufficient educational resources and poor communication. Bitget stated that in the future, it will further provide skill training and resource support to local students and women's cooperatives through its 'Blockchain4Youth' and 'Blockchain4Her' projects.
Previously, limited by infrastructure, local residents mainly relied on microwave radio frequency communication, experiencing 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 these issues and provide more stable information services to the local area.
