Authorities approve the router used by SpaceX's 'Starlink', a further step towards the realization of an internet network with artificial satellites



Space Star SpaceX, which was founded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, will launch ' Starlink ', which is a grand project to 'build a network network of more than 10,000 satellites to provide high-speed Internet connection service.' The router for connecting to the Internet with such Starlink has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The Starlink plan launched by SpaceX is to 'build a communication network that can provide high-speed Internet to every corner of the world by launching a total of 12,000 artificial satellites.' If the Starlink plan is realized, it is said that it will be possible to connect to high-speed internet even in areas where planes, ships, infrastructure are not developed, or areas where information control is tight.

With the launch of 58 Starlink satellites on June 13, 2020, there will be 540 Starlink satellites in orbit at the time of article creation. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk explained, 'At least 400 Starlink satellites are required for Starlink satellites to provide Internet connection', and by the number of satellites, it has already been piloted in some regions. It has reached the stage where it can be operated.

Then, on July 14, 2020, the FCC approved the operation of the 'Starlink Router'. It is not clear how this Starlink router works, but the documents submitted to the FCC allow it to send and receive signals from Starlink terminals and satellites. That's right.

According to the documents submitted to the FCC, it is Taiwanese telecommunications product maker

Go Technology that manufactures Starlink routers.



SpaceX will launch Starink in the North America and Canada in 2020, aiming to expand the service area to the world by 2021.
