Elon Musk’s company, Starlink, is gearing up for a groundbreaking internet launch, sending 7 satellites for direct-to-cell internet access. Musk envisions global network coverage, emphasizing the need for connectivity in every corner of the world. The recent satellite launch on Tuesday marks a significant step, with plans for an additional 6 satellites in the pipeline. Musk promises users a remarkable internet speed of 7MB per beam, showcasing the potential benefits.
While the 7MB per beam offers impressive speed, it comes with a drawback – older smartphones, including certain iPhone models, may not support this high-speed capability. Users with LTE-enabled devices can take advantage of Starlink’s improved internet service, but upgrading smartphones may be necessary.
Elon Musk’s commitment to providing better internet service is evident, with ongoing efforts by his company to enhance connectivity. Users with devices supporting the normal LTE version can seamlessly utilize Starlink’s services. Additionally, Musk plans to launch 840 Direct-to-Mobile Phone satellites in the next six months, further expanding the reach of this innovative internet solution.
