Brazil is expanding internet access deeper into the Amazon through a new partnership between Starlink and non-profit Redes do Futuro, bringing high-speed connectivity to some of the country’s most isolated schools.
The initiative will connect 140 schools across Brazil’s remote Amazon region, giving more than 14,000 students access to reliable internet service and online educational tools for the first time.
The effort is aimed at reducing the digital divide in rural communities where traditional internet infrastructure is either unreliable or completely unavailable.
According to photos shared by Starlink, the rollout is already underway, with students and school staff in remote villages posing alongside newly installed Starlink kits and laptops. Many of the schools involved in the project are located in areas only accessible by boat or small aircraft, highlighting the logistical challenges of deploying connectivity in the Amazon rainforest.

For students in the Amazon, the impact could be significant. Reliable internet access opens the door to digital classrooms, online research, virtual collaboration, and educational platforms that were previously out of reach. Teachers also gain access to new training opportunities and teaching resources that can help improve classroom learning outcomes.
The partnership marks another major expansion for Starlink in Brazil, one of the company’s fastest-growing international markets. Over the last several years, the satellite internet provider has rapidly expanded coverage across the country, targeting underserved rural and remote regions where fibre and cellular infrastructure are difficult to build.
Starlink has also helped Brazil in times of need, donating 1,000 terminals after the country suffered devastating floods in 2024.
