Starlink in India: Currently, around 7,000 Starlink satellites are operating around the world and the company aims to increase this number to more than 40,000 so that internet can be provided even in the most remote and challenging areas of the world.
Starlink in India: Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service provider Starlink is going to start its service in India soon. It has already got approval from the Government of India and it may soon be available to the general public. This service will especially meet the lack of internet in those areas where connectivity is not available through fiber or other means. Let us tell you how much its price can be and how much speed will be available.
How much will it cost?
Starlink has to complete some more necessary formalities to start its work in India, such as obtaining network gateway and spectrum license. It is expected that this process will be completed in the next few months. The setup kit required to start Starlink’s service can cost around Rs 30,000 or more. According to some reports, it can be between Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000. The price of its monthly plan can start from around Rs 3,300 and can go up to Rs 4,200. This price may vary depending on location and usage.
The speed can be this much
Starlink’s internet speed is expected to be between 25 Mbps to 220 Mbps. This speed may not be that special for those using fiber internet in urban areas, but it will prove to be a game-changer for rural and remote areas. This service will prove to be tremendous for areas where internet is still a big challenge. Analysts believe that Starlink can outperform its competitors in rural areas, but its use may be limited in urban areas.
On which technology does it work?
Starlink uses satellites present in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). These satellites are only 550 kilometers above the Earth, which is much closer than normal satellites. This is why it is able to provide internet service with high speed and low latency. Starlink has around 7,000 satellites operating around the world and the company aims to increase this number to more than 40,000 to provide internet access to even the most remote and challenging areas of the world.
