The installation of a Starlink satellite device in Kampung Langsat, Sabah has provided high-speed internet connectivity to 500 residents, with speeds exceeding 200 Mbps, according to Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil. This installation, carried out as part of the Proof of Concept (PoC) project, serves as a temporary measure to address connectivity issues in the area until the completion of a telecommunication tower under the National Digital Network Plan.

The Starlink device in Kampung Langsat was installed on September 7, making it the second installation in Sabah following Keningau on September 5. Unlike other locations where the device is mounted on rooftops, in Kampung Langsat, it is installed on buildings for increased stability.

The Ministry is working towards the construction of a telecommunication tower in Kampung Langsat to ensure that the infrastructure is made available at the earliest to cater to the needs of the local community. Minister Fahmi is scheduled to meet with Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to discuss this matter and other efforts to meet the telecommunications needs in Sabah.

Paimin Abdullah, the head of Kampung Langsat, expressed the residents’ gratitude for the high-speed internet facility provided through the Starlink device. This facility has greatly benefited the younger generation, particularly students, in completing their homework. Previously, the villagers faced difficulties in accessing the internet, but now it has become easier for them to communicate, especially with their families living outside the village. Paimin Abdullah hopes that the installation of the Starlink device will expand its coverage and benefits to an even wider area.
