How does Starlink's satellite internet service work?
Satellite internet provider Starlink may soon start its service in India. The company has partnered with jio and airtel and Starlink services will start in india as soon as the government gives the green signal. Currently, Starlink is providing its services in more than 100 countries of the world. Its biggest advantage is that it can provide internet connectivity even in remote areas. Let's know how Starlink works.
Connectivity is provided by satellite
Starlink is not dependent on fiber cables and towers like other companies. The company has sent thousands of satellites in low-earth orbit. With the help of these, the company provides internet service on earth. The company has also confirmed that it will continue to upgrade them with new technology every five years. For Starlink's service, the user needs a dish and router. This dish connects with Starlink's satellite. Then the internet can be accessed through the router. It provides stable connectivity and unlike ground connection, there are very few chances of interruption.
The biggest advantage of satellite connectivity
It is a big challenge to extend ground network to remote areas. Due to geographical challenges, internet connectivity has still not reached many areas of the world. Starlink does not have to face these challenges. It can provide internet in every kind of geographical situation. It is primarily designed for use at fixed locations, but with the help of some additional equipment it can also be used in vehicles and ships etc. Although its speed will be less than fiber-based broadband, but in terms of internet connectivity it can cover every area.
