The Starlink satellite Internet transmission system is expected to help people and officials on the frontline island more conveniently in the process of digital transformation and information communication.

Internet is smooth in the middle of a level 7-8 monsoon

On November 2, information from the People's Committee of Bach Long Vi special zone said that the unit had just coordinated with the Hai Phong Department of Science and Technology to organize the acceptance, handover and putting into use of the Starlink low-orbit satellite Internet system, after nearly two weeks of trial operation.

This is considered a solution to supplement telecommunications infrastructure for remote island areas, where maintaining information connections is often greatly affected by weather conditions and geographical characteristics.

The Starlink system is installed at 4 locations including the special zone Party Committee headquarters, the special zone People's Committee headquarters, the hall of the Public Service Center and the square area - the special zone's central welcome gate.

Through test operation, access speed at installation points reaches 300 to more than 400 Mbps, depending on location and time of testing. WiFi coverage range is about 35 - 50m from the device location.

Notably, on October 27 and 28, when Bach Long Vi was affected by the strong northeast monsoon level 7-8 with light showers, the system still operated continuously, without interruption. The average speed at this time reaches 300-350 Mbps.

Mr. Le Van Hoan, working at the Public Service Center of Bach Long Vi special zone, said that in the past, the Internet connection was often blocked, especially when the weather was bad, and many fishermen went ashore, causing the number of visitors to increase.

Since the new system was introduced, access speed has improved, making it more convenient for officials and employees to exchange information, process documents and exploit online platforms.

Additional digital infrastructure for the forward island

Not only serving the need for regular Internet access, stable transmission is also meaningful for the management of sea and island areas.

Bach Long Vi is home to a large number of fishermen and vehicles operating at sea, so maintaining communication plays an important role in exchange between forces, ship management, natural disaster prevention and search and rescue.

The addition of satellite Internet connection also creates an additional method of maintaining information in adverse weather situations, supporting the direction and administration of local authorities and the process of accessing digital services for people.

Mr. Bui Trung Tien, Secretary of the Party Committee of Bach Long Vi special zone, assessed that the installation of the Starlink satellite Internet system is very practical, contributing to improving the effectiveness of leadership, direction, administration and serving socio-economic development tasks in the locality.
