Technical News Office – You must have heard about Starlink. It provides high-speed Internet connection. This Internet service was launched by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX, which aims to provide high-speed Internet access in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. But do you know what Starlink is and how it works. Let us tell you about it in detail.
What is Starlink?
Although cable internet access is limited, Starlink can work from any location on a clear day. Thanks to this, the Internet reaches even the most remote regions of the world.
How does Starlink work?
Previously, satellite internet was slow and delayed. But Starlink uses thousands of small satellites that communicate with each other to provide high-speed Internet access. These satellites are in the sky and send and receive data via radio signals. SpaceX wants to increase the number of these satellites to 42,000, so that connectivity and speed can increase further.
What is special about Starlink?
Other satellite internet companies use large satellites, but Starlink uses small satellites that communicate with each other using lasers. This requires very few ground stations.
How to buy and install Starlink?
In America, you can purchase the Starlink kit at stores like Home Depot, Target, Best Buy, Walmart. After purchasing the kit, you can install it yourself or have it installed by anyone. Just point it at the sky, plug it in, and your Internet connection is up and running. If you are unable to choose the right location, you can download the Starlink app.
Why choose Starlink?
Starlink is very useful in areas where there is no Internet access or the speed is very slow. Previously, the speed of Starlink reached 150 Mbps, but now with the increase of satellite, the speed reaches 264 Mbps. However, speeds may vary depending on locations. There is a map on the Starlink website where you can see what the speeds are in different parts of the world.
