SpaceX surpasses 3 million Starlink user base
SpaceX has surpassed a 3 million Starlink user base worldwide and announced the company as this internet service reached nearly 100 countries.
Engineered by Space Launch Service Provider SpaceX, Starlink provides satellite-based internet services in remote locations. This satellite is gaining popularity for its robust connectivity in places without mobile signals.
Starlink is available for consumers, roaming, boats/ships, flights, and government agencies. It has a two-step installation guide – the first is to plug it into a power source and the second is to point it at the sky. The connection dish is designed to withstand sleet, heavy rain, and high winds.
Starlink is connecting more than 3M people with high-speed internet across nearly 100 countries, territories and many other markets.
