Starlink
Space X

Solution Overview & Benefits
Starlink, operated by SpaceX, is a satellite internet constellation designed to deliver broadband internet services across the globe. By deploying thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), Starlink aims to provide reliable internet access, especially in regions where traditional infrastructure is lacking.
Key Features:
- Global Coverage: Provides internet access to remote and rural areas worldwide.
- High-Speed Connectivity: Offers download speeds ranging from 50 Mbps to over 100 Mbps, with ongoing improvements as the network expands.
- Low Latency: Achieves latencies as low as 20-40 milliseconds, suitable for activities like video calls and online gaming.
- Portable Equipment: User terminals, including the compact Starlink Mini, are designed for easy setup and mobility.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Continuously expanding satellite constellation to enhance service quality and coverage.
History & Development
SpaceX initiated the Starlink project in 2015, with the goal of creating a global broadband network. The first operational satellites were launched in May 2019. As of September 2024, the constellation comprises over 7,000 satellites, with plans to deploy up to 12,000 to improve coverage and capacity. Starlink began offering services to paying customers in October 2020 and has since expanded to over 125 countries and territories.
