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.
I have this thing connected to my security system that says starlink on it but I have cable internet, it still works when my internet is out. I don't know if it's actual satilite starlink though, My monitoring is like 400 bucks a year so maybe it actually is. I was thinking about getting the starlink internet, 500 bucks is kind of a lot for the equipment but if it worked well I would probably budget it in. I just wonder how often you'd need to upgrade something like that. I'm going to wait till more people have it and see how it works out.
