Liberty resells Starlink to boost internet for Costa Rica digital nomads

How Liberty’s satellite internet works

Costa Rica’s rural businesses now have access to Starlink through Liberty Empresas, which resells the service as Internet Corporativo Satelital. The package uses low-Earth orbit satellites to support video calls, streaming, cloud tools and business apps in places with weak or unreliable terrestrial networks.

Liberty says the service is aimed at hotels, farms, agroindustrial firms, regional offices and schools in remote areas. Business customers began ordering it on April 27, 2026.

Who stands to benefit

Expats, digital nomads and travelers in ecotourism areas may see indirect gains when hotels, lodges and work sites have steadier connectivity. That can matter for reservations, payments and day-to-day communication.

Farms and construction sites can use the connection for logistics and monitoring, while schools and nonprofits in rural zones may get a more reliable line for online tools. Costa Rica’s digital nomad visa already offers tax breaks for remote workers and rural internet access now reaches more of the places they use.

What businesses need to know

Liberty handles the service as a managed corporate offering, with SD-WAN and cybersecurity features folded in. Pricing for Costa Rica wasn’t listed in the announcement, but Starlink’s global business plans start at $65 a month for local priority, with higher data tiers and hardware costs around $1,999.

Users still need a clear view of the sky. Businesses order through Liberty Empresas and Starlink’s Costa Rica operations trace back to a 2023 license from the Superintendence of Telecommunications that runs through 2038.
