#Satellite Internet

SpaceX has drastically reduced the price of the Starlink Mini kit in the US to 149 dollars, making portable satellite internet more accessible.

SpaceX plans to increase Starlink satellite internet speeds to 950 Mbps by the end of 2026 for maritime and corporate clients using Performance Gen 3 terminals.

SpaceX lifted the artificial Starlink speed cap for residential users after a wave of complaints on social media. Previously, the speed for active customers had dropped to 10 Mbit/s without warning.

SpaceX is considering turning Starlink Mobile into a full-fledged 5G carrier, but T-Mobile calls the plan unrealistic due to the technical and economic limitations of satellite communication.

Elon Musk announced that the Starlink constellation has reached 11,000 satellites in orbit — no other provider comes close to this figure. Starlink accounts for more than half of all payloads in low Earth orbit, while Amazon Leo has failed to meet its deployment deadline.

Iridium has filed a complaint with the US FCC demanding a block on the Starlink network expansion due to the risk of radio frequency interference with their mobile communications. SpaceX plans for gigabit speeds, but the competitor insists on compliance with standards.

🇵🇱 Poland returns to the Starlink zone: Elon Musk admits roaming error following pressure from Warsaw. 🚀 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski thanked Musk for acknowledging the inadmissibility of discriminating against EU citizens. 🇺🇦 This is critically important for Ukraine: Poland has transferred more than 29,000 terminals to Kyiv and finances their operation. 💰 Warsaw threatened to review spending of $50 million per year, which accelerated the decision. 📡 Now, Polish terminals in Ukraine operate without 'international' roaming restrictions. #Starlink #Poland #Ukraine #SpaceX #Technology

🚀 Elon Musk Announces: Starlink to Capture 90% of Global IP Traffic by 2030! Even if competitors strengthen 10-fold — SpaceX dominance remains. 🌍📡 Already 12,000 satellites, laser communication, global coverage. Traditional providers in shock. But there are skeptics: ESA says 65%, while China and India build their own networks. Is the future of the internet in space? #Starlink #SpaceX #ElonMusk #TelecomRevolution

🇪🇺 **Europe approves IRIS² plan: 348 satellites instead of 290** The European Commission has finalized the development of the sovereign satellite constellation. The project has moved to the construction phase. 🚀 🔹 **Scale:** Constellation increased to 348 units. 🔹 **Goal:** Ensuring security for EU, Norway, and Iceland government institutions (protection +60%). 🔹 **Launch:** First satellites in 2029. 🔹 **Status:** The project is positioned not as a commercial competitor to Starlink, but as a tool of state sovereignty.

SpaceX has shown the first photos of Starlink V3 satellites from Starship orbit. 🛰️ The units deployed their panels and connected to the constellation, but burned up after 20 minutes. 🔥 The new satellites promise a 10x speed increase and a 100x total network capacity. 🚀

SpaceX is preparing an update for Starlink Mini: the new model will be more compact, feature a built-in battery, and have improved cooling up to 99 °C. 🛰️🔋 The device will retain on-the-move operation and GPS support.

The explosion of the New Glenn rocket from Blue Origin forced AST SpaceMobile to postpone the launch of satellite internet to 2027. 🚀 The company has already spent $1 billion on bonds to find new partners and reduce dependence on launch failures. 📡

SpaceX has unveiled the new Starlink V5 terminal — 2 times smaller and 62% lighter than the previous model! 🚀💻 Compactness + Power = Revolution in satellite internet. #Starlink #SpaceX #Technology

Starlink usage rules have been tightened in Ukraine: terminals must now be verified via «Diia» or CNAPs. Businesses have gained access to remote equipment management, while users have the possibility of connectivity without coverage via Direct to Cell. 🛰️📡
