It’s been a year since we first examined SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet, which launched its public beta in November 2020. Today we’re updating our ongoing series on satellite internet performance with data from Q1 2022 in Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America, including re...
On February 8, 2022, approximately 40 of the 49 Starlink satellites were reported to have lost altitude, leading to atmospheric re-entry. SpaceX reported that the orbital decay on Starlink satellites was considered to be linked to a geomagnetic storm tha
Starlink: The Basics As noted earlier, Starlink is operated by SpaceX, a company that makes rockets and spaceships (really). As of May 2023, it’s launched more than 4,100 Starlink satellites. Starlink is a constellation of satellites using a low-Earth orbit to bring broadband to even th...
places where internet access is restricted. spacex has launched more than 2,000 starlink satellites since 2019 and offers internet service to much of europe, parts of central and south america, new zealand, and southern australia. it is the most mature of three projects, including one from ...
T-Mobile has announced it is looking for testers of its satellite-to-cellular service in the US, which is powered by SpaceX's new Starlink satellites. Once launched in early 2025, select postpaid users can try satellite messaging on their devices for free before additional features like voice...
B How can you get online when you go somewhere where there is no Wi-Fi and no mobile phone signal? Private spaceflight company SpaceX might have the solution-its Starlink satellite network.The company recently launched 60 satellites into space that will be added to the network. The total nu...
Starlink:Launched by SpaceX, Starlink aims to provide high-speed internet coverage worldwide, particularly in remote and rural areas that have historically lacked access. Utilizing a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, Starlink boasts reduced latency and increasing bandwidth capabilities....
Starlink officially launched in Nigeria in early 2023. At the time, it entered a market filled with well-established players like Spectranet and FiberOne. Despite its premium pricing, adoption soared growing from just under 24,000 users at the end of 2023 to over 65,000 by the close of 202...
In addition, despite the fact that Starlink has reportedly launched hundreds of additional satellites since our early review, finding an obstruction-free view is just as difficult as it was over a year ago. We placed the dish in an open area but found the dish aiming almost due north at pa...
While bandwidth concerns are genuine for ISPs, the issue is magnified for satellite internet providers like Starlink. The satellites launched into space can only provide so much coverage with a specified amount of bandwidth, meaning that, at times, heavy users can appear to use more than their ...
