VEON Ltd. said its Bangladesh operator, Banglalink, launched a satellite-to-mobile service powered by Starlink. The rollout provides connectivity access beyond conventional mobile network reach, including for use cases tied to outages and disruptions.

According to the company, the service supports customer connectivity during emergencies, natural disasters, and prolonged power outages when conventional networks may be disrupted. VEON described the approach as extending access to connectivity and digital services by combining terrestrial and satellite infrastructure.

Banglalink’s satellite-to-mobile service requires a 4G phone and a Banglalink SIM to access. Customers can use the service through MyBL, Banglalink’s super app, and it was stated that availability on the RYZE app would follow. The release tied the capability to Starlink’s direct-to-device satellite network.

VEON said the launch followed earlier Starlink deployments by its digital operator in Ukraine, Kyivstar, and by Beeline Kazakhstan in September 2026. The company said it had positioned the work within its resilience and digital inclusion strategy, citing network resilience during emergencies and periods of disruption.

“Starlink Mobile is a powerful example of how connectivity can change lives, not just convenience. For a fisherman far out at sea, or a family cut off after a natural disaster, being able to reach someone could mean the difference between isolation and getting help. That’s the kind of impact VEON exists to deliver for people in Bangladesh and across our markets,” said Kaan Terzioglu, CEO of VEON Group. “Millions of Bangladeshis count on their network most when conditions are at their hardest, whether that is a storm or a long power outage. Adding satellite-to-mobile extends Banglalink's reach beyond what towers alone can cover and makes our network more resilient. Being first in South Asia is a milestone, but what matters to us is how many people it helps when they need it,” said Johan Buse, CEO of Banglalink. This release also contained forward-looking statements related to Banglalink’s Starlink launch and VEON group’s DTC strategy.
