Docomo Pacific has teamed up with Lynk Global, LLC. This partnership aims to improve internet access in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
The company announced on Friday that they are collaborating to improve communication access. This is for areas where traditional telecom infrastructure is limited or missing. Lynk leads the way in satellite-direct-to-device (D2D) technology. They have the world’s first commercial license for international satellite D2D services. This gives them special capabilities in their efforts. The company got approval to change its FCC license. This allows them to start commercial services in the United States.
To connect critical and underserved regions in the Marianas, Lynk has teamed up with Docomo Pacific, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to delivering innovative, far-reaching connectivity solutions.
“This is incredibly exciting for Lynk to be the second direct-to-device provider licensed for commercial service in the U.S. We are making significant progress on our mission to connect everyone, everywhere,” said Amy Mehlman, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Affairs Officer at Lynk Global. “This approval allows Lynk and our trusted partner, Docomo Pacific, to offer service in remote parts of the country beyond the reach of conventional networks. We’re grateful to the FCC for swiftly approving our license modification.”

Christine Baleto, President and CEO of Docomo Pacific, stated the partnership’s importance. She emphasized the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and working with others worldwide.
“We are honored to be selected by Lynk Global as their telecommunications partner of choice,” said Baleto. “Lynk’s satellite-direct-to-device technology complements our vision of delivering ‘Tomorrow’s Islands, Today’. The service is still being built and tested. However, it could greatly boost connectivity in places where traditional infrastructure won’t work.”
Baleto said the partnership is a big step for Guam and the Marianas. It will help all residents and businesses get reliable, high-quality communication services.
