Starlink India launch: Where is it?
Starlink launch in India has people excited but the service is yet to officially make its way to the country. Internet via satellite has been in the news for years but the Indian market has been slow to adopt the technology owing to its higher running costs.
But with local operator support, Starlink has the chance to go mainstream in the country and tap into the vast pool of consumer base who would be eager to try out the satellite internet services.
Starlink internet at home requires additional hardware like a dish antenna and a router which helps the company communicate with its satellites in the LEO and transmit high-speed internet service to the consumers.
As you might be aware of the direct to home (DTH) TV services, the Starlink dish will connect with the nearest satellite to offer all-round internet access. Starlink also has the ability to let you use the satellite internet while you are in a vehicle or via a mobile device like the iPhone 14 but you will need additional equipment to make that happen.
