Starlink
SpaceX is the operator of the Starlink constellation of satellites. It is intended to bring high- speed broadband internet to underserved and distant locations across the globe.
The constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Starlink satellites orbit far lower than conventional geostationary satellites, at a height of roughly 340 miles (550 km) above the Earth. This increases internet speed and lowers latency.
Mesh Network: The constellation's dozens of linked satellites create a meshnetwork that enables redundancy and continuous coverage.
With plans for more, there will be approximately 4,000 satellites in orbit by 2024.
Ground Infrastructure User Terminals: To connect to the satellites, users utilize a Starlink dish, commonly referred to as a user terminal. To guarantee a steady connection, this dish automatically aligns with the best satellite.
Gateways: Ground stations, also known as gateways, route data between users and the wider internet by connecting the satellite network to the internet backbone.
