SpaceX, the world’s largest private space research company, is expanding its satellite Internet service program faster and faster than anyone expected.
Elon Musk’s dream is to dominate the division’s service before fellow competitors begin service, with SpaceX head Elon Musk’s dream project of expanding the Starling service worldwide.
Starlink Project
The Starling project is to provide every home with a high-speed broadband service that operates in direct contact with the satellite. The special feature of this project is that with this Starling service you can get high-speed internet service in all areas like forests and mountains without any cable connection.
Mountain villages
For example, in many hill villages in Tamil Nadu, mobile network-A is low, how can you get high-speed internet service there. Even with a broadband service like BSNL, the speed is still low. Starling is a service that solves these problems. This Starling service will also be available in the hill villages at internet speeds available in Chennai.
The same company around the world
Such an important service segment has the potential to dominate not only in the United States but around the world as a single entity without any alliance. Elon Musk aims to expand the worldwide Internet service Starling.
Elon Musk
The Starling service is owned by Elon Musk-led SpaceX. Every month several satellites are launched into space for this StarLink service.
1,700 satellites
According to the report, about 1,700 satellites have been launched for the Starling service and will soon reach its target of 42,000 satellites.
Starlink Redminal
Elon Musk also said that Redminal, a dish, and modem used for Starling services, has been delivered to over 1 lakh people so far. 1 lakh terminal means 1 lakh customers.
Starlink service in 14 countries
The service has been expanded to around 14 countries with over 1 lakh customers. With this, Elon Musk has connected the areas where there is no internet service without any border difference.
14 countries
The Starling service operates in 14 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Portugal, New Zealand, and Australia.
When in India
In addition, Elon Musk-led SpaceX has applied to the government to provide Starling services in a number of countries, including India. Elon Musk said on Twitter that he plans to expand his service to more countries as soon as the approval is received.
150 MBPS speed
He said that at present all customers in the United States are being provided with Internet service through Starling at speeds of at least 150 Mbps. SpaceX is upgrading its newly developed Better Than Nothing Beta program in other countries.
