In the dynamic landscape of 2024, the Philippines is emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies. Fueled by a vibrant digital ecosystem, the nation’s digital economy is projected to leap from $24 billion to $35 billion by 2025. Leading this transformation is the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), which has connected over 250,000 users in partnership with Kacific Broadband Satellites Group and various Internet service providers. Additionally, Kacific provides connectivity to 2,000 businesses across diverse industries such as tourism, agri-fisheries, and finance in the Philippines. This commitment aligns with the national government’s vision of prioritizing digital transformation, championed by the DICT.
As the largest Ka-band operator in the Asia-Pacific region, Kacific is pivotal in driving the digital revolution across the Philippines’ 7,640 islands. Using its geostationary satellite, Kacific1, the company delivers accessible and affordable next-generation satellite broadband services, significantly impacting the nation’s connectivity landscape.
Strategic Collaborations and Local Empowerment Initiatives
Kacific goes beyond technology, forming strategic alliances with international agencies and local businesses. The company prioritizes training a widespread network of local sales and installation partners, extending its reach to remote, rural areas. Since 2023, Kacific has significantly broadened its impact, connecting over a thousand additional sites, demonstrating its commitment to inclusive connectivity.
