Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom, headquartered in Bonn, is Germany's largest telecom operator and appears on Starlink's list of authorized resellers. In April 2026 it launched Satellite Internet Access by Starlink (SIA), a fully managed satellite broadband service for large companies and public-sector organisations, which it presents as the only one of its kind from a German network operator.

SIA is sold as a turnkey package from one source and billed on the regular Telekom invoice. Telekom quotes up to 400 Mbit/s down and 40 Mbit/s up, 20 to 60 ms latency and at least 99.9% availability. Unlike consumer plans there is no flat rate: customers buy prioritised data, from about 55 euros a month for 50 GB per terminal up to 10 TB, on top of a monthly system charge from 16 euros and a one-off setup fee that depends on the site, according to figures Telekom gave to the trade press.

The main use is resilience: keeping a site online when the fibre or copper line fails, or connecting a new site before fibre arrives, as in the pilot with a brewery chain in eastern Germany. At MWC 2026 Telekom also announced a satellite-to-mobile partnership with Starlink for ten European countries, planned for 2028.
