Softbank Corp.

SoftBank, as a Starlink certified integrator, offers Starlink Business, a low-earth orbit satellite broadband internet service for corporations and local governments. This service provides high-speed, low-latency data communication in areas with limited infrastructure, for business continuity planning, and for maritime operations. It includes land and marine plans, various antenna kits, 24/7 support, and optional on-site services. Additionally, SoftBank provides "SatPack," a portable solution combining Starlink Business with Wi-Fi access points for rapid, wide-area network deployment in remote or emergency scenarios.

Overview

As a Starlink certified integrator, SoftBank empowers businesses and public entities with robust, high-performance connectivity through Starlink Business, a cutting-edge Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite broadband internet service. The core mission is to bridge critical communication gaps, delivering high-speed and low-latency data capabilities to regions lacking conventional infrastructure, for essential business continuity planning (BCP), and across dynamic environments such as maritime operations and geographically remote areas. This strategic partnership enables organizations to ensure uninterrupted connectivity, supporting vital operations and digital transformation initiatives regardless of their physical location.

The technical foundation of this offering is Starlink's sophisticated LEO satellite constellation, operating at an altitude of just 550 kilometers, a significant advancement over traditional geostationary satellites. This proximity to Earth is crucial for delivering exceptional high-speed broadband, boasting up to 220 Mbps downlink and 25 Mbps uplink, alongside dramatically reduced low-latency communication. This performance profile is essential for modern enterprise applications like high-definition video conferencing, cloud-based data transfers, and real-time operational monitoring. SoftBank provides a versatile range of hardware solutions, including the ultra-portable Starlink Mini antenna, which features integrated Wi-Fi and remarkably low power consumption (average 25-40W), making it ideal for deployments where power resources are limited or mobility is paramount. Complementary options include the Standard V4 and High Performance antennas. Customers also benefit from highly flexible data plans, ranging from 50GB to 10TB, with a customizable "pay-as-you-go" option to ensure seamless data scaling beyond contracted limits. For wider area coverage, the innovative SatPack solution can establish a Wi-Fi zone with a radius of approximately 300 meters.

Starlink Business by SoftBank addresses critical challenges across diverse sectors. For remote construction sites, often located in mountainous or isolated areas, it provides the vital communication backbone required for efficient project management, accurate data exchange, and enhanced worker safety. In unforeseen circumstances, it serves as a cornerstone for disaster recovery and BCP scenarios, offering immediate and resilient communication infrastructure essential for emergency response, rapid information sharing, and maintaining operational continuity when terrestrial networks fail. The maritime industry benefits profoundly from stable internet connectivity for vessels at sea, supporting crew welfare, enabling operational digitalization, and facilitating safe navigation, even in international waters. Furthermore, the service supports local governments in their efforts to establish communication in underserved regions and provides robust connectivity for various special events.

As a dedicated Starlink certified integrator, SoftBank provides a comprehensive suite of support services to ensure optimal performance and operational ease. This includes 24/7/365 technical support accessible via a specialized customer portal, handling service inquiries, usage monitoring, and troubleshooting. A critical offering is the advance replacement for Starlink kits, minimizing downtime during hardware issues. For complex deployments, SoftBank provides professional on-site installation and maintenance services, covering everything from initial site surveys and system integration to ongoing operational support, including the seamless integration of existing LAN environments. The focus on portability, exemplified by dedicated carry bags and the rapidly deployable SatPack deployable Wi-Fi solution, ensures quick setup and mobility, crucial for emergency situations and dynamic operational requirements. This comprehensive support, coupled with flexible Land and Marine plans, underscores SoftBank’s commitment to delivering reliable, managed connectivity solutions tailored to specific client needs.
