Lighting up our skies for the first time back in April 2020, Starlink has definitely set off running with advancements in its technology and internet connectivity. The company headed by Elon Musk is a satellite internet constellation making a revolution in the world communications industry and beyond.
Starlink aims to provide strong broadband connections across the globe using a network of thousands of satellites to accomplish that.
Starlink has been programmed to transmit data through lasers, which just like fibre-optic broadband, travels at lightspeed. While fibre-optic cables rely on pulses of light rather than lasers to work, combining both methods significantly allows for similar broadband speeds, balancing out the cons of both networks.
Is Starlink available in United Kingdom?
Starlink is operational in some British homes, providing internet connectivity that is fast, reliable and out of this world, quite literally, for some in the UK.
Though the company is aiming to go global, it is still a few steps behind but will definitely get there soon if its rapid takeoff was any indication.
