The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authorised Elon Musk’s SpaceX to use its Starlink satellite internet system on moving vehicles such as cars, trucks, boats, and planes
Along with SpaceX, the FCC has approved Kepler Communications, paving the way for a new class of user terminals that can connect to broadband-beaming satellites while moving, according to the Verge.
“Authorising a new class of terminals for SpaceX’s satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV (recreational vehicle) across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight,” FCC international bureau chief Tom Sullivan, said in a statement on Thursday.
It is a decent chunk of change your correct...I have a question : If the deep state were to bust up our power supply do you think starlink would link everyone up for communication ? I would hope that's a possibility..🤷
Yeah during a power outage starlink will still work on your backup power. Takes about 100 watts
Monthly cost is equivalent to current fiber based service.
For now, you can order the RV version; it seems ships much more quickly than the facility install version.
