How does Starlink work?
Most satellite Internet services are provided by a single geostationary satellite, which is located at an altitude of 35,786 kilometers above the ground surface. Due to its high altitude, the latency of this satellite is very high, which makes streaming, video gaming and video calling etc. almost impossible, that is, users have to face a lot of difficulties in accessing the internet.
More than 40 thousand small satellites
At the same time, Starlink satellites are present at a height of only 550 kilometers from the ground. Users’ devices continue to get connectivity from these satellites present in lower earth orbit, due to which there is low latency and there is no problem in accessing the internet. Elon Musk’s company has launched around 42,000 tablet-sized satellites in lower Earth orbit, which help in internet connectivity and better network coverage. However, apart from Starlink, satellite internet services like Airtel OneWeb, BSNL-Viasat and Amazon Kuiper also work in lower earth orbit.
This way you will get internet connectivity
Starlink has used thousands of small satellites instead of one big satellite. To use Starlink’s satellite service, the user has to install an antenna, which captures the signal coming from the satellite and provides Internet access. According to reports, Starlink’s satellite internet service allows users to access internet at speeds up to 150Mbps. Users can access internet at this speed without any interruption. Also, users will be able to make calls even without any mobile network and SIM card.
