DENVER, Colorado – Liberty Latin America (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) is leveraging Starlink Direct to Cell technology to bolster connectivity services in the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastation. This collaboration aims to provide FLOW Jamaica customers with vital data, SMS, and text communication capabilities via Starlink’s satellite network.
Aamir Hussain, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Liberty Latin America, stated, “Our partnership with Starlink Direct to Cell underscores our commitment to deploying cutting-edge technology to keep our customers connected during critical times. By integrating our terrestrial infrastructure with satellite solutions, we are establishing a crucial lifeline for individuals when they need it most. Liberty Latin America is dedicated to pioneering technological solutions to deliver superior service to our customers.”
The collaboration utilizes spectrum approved by the Spectrum Management Authority and the Ministry of Energy, Transport, and Telecommunications. This move marks a significant development as a traditional connectivity operator partners with a satellite communications provider to deliver seamless connectivity directly to mobile subscribers. This allows users to maintain communication via apps, text messages, and essential messaging services, especially when local mobile network infrastructure is compromised.
Industry analysts note that this partnership highlights a broader trend of telecom providers exploring satellite-based solutions to enhance network resilience and expand coverage, particularly in regions prone to natural disasters or with challenging terrain. The strategic alliance allows Liberty Latin America to enhance its service offerings and gain a competitive edge in the Caribbean market.
