Following the recent announcement of Digicel PNG teaming up with Starlink, Telikom PNG Limited has also jumped onboard the band wagon announcing that they too will be reselling Starlink services in the country.

Telikom Limited, Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) 100% state-owned telecommunications company, is pleased to announce that it is officially an authorised Starlink reseller in Papua New Guinea.

Through this partnership, Telikom Limited will lead the provision of Starlink services to enterprise customers, government departments and agencies, the mining and resource sector, financial institutions, SMEs, and existing VSAT customers throughout the country.

As Papua New Guinea’s state-owned telecommunications provider, Telikom Limited remains committed to ensuring reliable and affordable connectivity reaches all parts of the country, particularly remote and underserved communities.

Under this arrangement, Telikom Limited will manage local customer engagement, billing, payment collection, installation coordination, customer support, and managed services. This partnership represents a significant milestone in addressing Papua New Guinea’s connectivity challenges across key sectors including education, health, government services, business, and community development.

“Telikom Limited believes this new generation of low-earth orbit satellite technology presents major opportunities to transform digital access, strengthen national connectivity resilience, and enable broader economic growth throughout Papua New Guinea,” said Amos Tepi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Telikom Limited.

“This partnership is not about replacing existing connectivity platforms but about complementing our overall national connectivity strategy through a combination of fibre, mobile, cloud, VSAT, and satellite technologies to better serve the people and businesses of Papua New Guinea.”

As part of the rollout, Telikom Limited will also provide fully managed integrated solutions bundled with Internet services, OTT and digital platforms, mobile connectivity, sovereign AI services, cloud solutions, and enterprise managed services.

Unlike traditional ISPs, Telikom Limited is uniquely positioned as the national telecommunications provider with existing infrastructure, nationwide operational capability, enterprise experience, and strategic government partnerships to support large-scale deployment and service delivery throughout Papua New Guinea.

This partnership also represents an important collaboration between the United States and Papua New Guinea through its state-owned telecommunications provider, creating new opportunities for digital transformation, innovation, and economic development.
