The installation of a Starlink satellite device in Kampung Langsat, Ranau, has provided high-speed internet connectivity to 500 residents, according to Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil. This initiative, implemented through the Proof of Concept (PoC) project, aims to address the connectivity issues in the area while waiting for the completion of a telecommunication tower under the National Digital Network Plan.

The Starlink device was successfully installed on September 7, making it the second installation in Sabah after the first one in Keningau on September 5. Unlike other locations where the device is placed on rooftops, in Kampung Langsat, it is mounted on buildings to ensure stability.

Minister Fahmi Fadzil commented on the ongoing efforts to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the area. He mentioned that discussions will take place with the Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, to prioritize the completion of the telecommunication tower in Kampung Langsat.

Paimin Abdullah, the head of Kampung Langsat, expressed gratitude for the high-speed internet facility provided through the Starlink device. The residents, especially the younger generation and students, greatly benefit from this connectivity in completing their homework and communicating with family members living outside of the village. Paimin Abdullah hopes that the Starlink device will be expanded to cover a wider area.

With this installation, the residents of Kampung Langsat now have access to high-speed internet connectivity with speeds exceeding 200Mbps. This temporary solution has significantly improved the internet accessibility in the village, bridging the digital divide and enhancing communication capabilities for the local community.
