Starlink is a satellite-powered internet service designed to provide network coverage in remote areas where traditional communication isn’t available.

As of May 20, SpaceX achieved more than 3 million Starlink users worldwide in nearly 100 countries. Starlink is also the largest satellite constellation operated by SpaceX accounting for roughly 60 percent of the overall satellites orbiting around the Earth.

Starlink supports two-step installation with its compact dish using a plug-and-use setup. It could connect the consumer to network services from most of the areas.
