SpaceX Starlink on the Verge of Connecting Large Vehicles to High Speed Internet

SpaceX boss Elon Musk wants to aid pilots, truckers and mariners get online through Starlink while they are on transit. The rocket-building firm is seeking authorization to connect aircrafts, ships, trucks and RVs to its Starlink satellite internet service.

The Company demanded for a “blanket license” from the Federal Communications Commission for the connection of homes and offices to large vehicles through its network that comprises more than a thousand satellites orbiting the earth.

However, Musk refuted claims that SpaceX was not planning to beam internet to passenger cars like the ones that are made by his Tesla Company. 

Starlink is working on a project to develop an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites that will deliver high-speed internet to consumers across the globe. According to Musk, the project will double the speed to 300 Mb/s and reduce latency to 20 ms.

Last August, SpaceX announced that almost 700,000 individuals had expressed interest in the Starlink service.  According to New York Post, Musk’s SpaceX was reportedly taxing $99 every month for a demo version of its Starlink satellite internet service.

SpaceX sent up 60 more Starlink internet satellites into orbit early Thursday, raising the total launched to 1265. Falcon 9 rocket was launched on March 11, carrying “a new batch of 60 Starlink internet satellites into orbit, before nailing its landing on a floating platform at sea.”
