Expereo has announced that it has become an authorised Starlink reseller. The global network connectivity provider will now be able to deliver Starlink connections to its customer base. Expereo already delivers global network connectivity to enterprise and government sites in over 190 countries. The addition of Starlink connectivity adds a new layer of resilience for its customers.
Starlink provides internet connectivity to consumers and businesses by leveraging its Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite network. Engineered and deployed by SpaceX, the LEO platform delivers connectivity to almost any location worldwide without the need for a physical connection.
This solution has several advantages, especially for businesses looking to ensure connectivity to remote sites. While organisations rely on higher-speed synchronous connectivity for their main connection, broadband is often used as a backup. The risk, however, is that these connections often rely on similar infrastructure for delivery. With there being many circumstances where connections for both primary and secondary connections are disrupted. Starlink provides an answer to that problem.
Starlink provides high-speed internet connectivity to remote locations without mobile signal, fibre, or copper infrastructure. It can also connect organisations that need mobile connectivity on land, at sea, or in the air. However, Expereo will initially offer Starlink Fixed Land Business priority plans that reflect the needs of its enterprise customers.
Ben Elms, Chief Executive Officer at Expereo, comments, “Starlink is a game-changer for our customers. Starlink’s satellite technology, renowned for its ability to provide high-speed Internet to remote areas, aligns perfectly with Expereo’s mission to deliver seamless, resilient, high-quality and managed Internet access to enterprises, regardless of their location.
“Starlink complements Expereo’s expertise in providing end-to-end management of an entire suite of connectivity solutions for organizations of all kinds, no matter where they are based or what their growth ambitions are, all visible and managed through our intelligent platform expereoOne.”
Advantages of Starlink
The Starlink LEO satellite network offers connectivity that is resilient and faster than many legacy broadband solutions. Download speeds vary from 40-220 Mbps, and upload speeds range from 8-25 Mbps. Latency is around 20-60 ms, which enables video calling and will support the vast majority of business applications.
Starlink has the ability to connect even the most remote location to the Internet at a cost that is significantly lower than traditional satellite communications networks. For Expereo, adding Starlink to its connectivity options delivers several benefits, including:
- Unmatched resilience in a fully managed solution: With LEO satellite connectivity as a backup or primary connection, businesses remain protected from network disruptions due to physical infrastructure failures, fibre cuts, or regional outages. Enterprises can now achieve seamless end-to-end management of their LEO solutions. Maintaining the same level of visibility and control as with their broader internet infrastructure, thanks to Expereo’s managed services and expereoOne platform.
- Instant failover for seamless continuity: Expereo’s LEO satellite integration brings instant failover capability with low latency and high-speed Internet that keeps critical applications running without interruption. In scenarios where every second counts, this enhanced resilience protects businesses from costly downtimes and ensures that operations run smoothly no matter what.
- Flexible deployment and rapid scalability: LEO easy deployment means organizations can set up, scale, or configure solutions according to their business needs without the delays or dependencies of traditional infrastructure. Expereo’s network management expertise ensures seamless integration into existing systems. Allowing enterprises to respond flexibly to changing demand and business priorities.
- Ability to connect anywhere: With satellite connectivity, business sites can be connected wherever they are located as long as there is a clear line of sight with the sky.

“Increasingly, Enterprise customers are looking for partners who can deliver a fully managed solution in the way Expereo do. Including the network design, ordering, installation and on-going support of Starlink equipment wherever in the world they need it. Expereo also provide complete visibility of their solutions via expereoOne. So customers can view the network performance down to site level.”
