Wifi Industry Disruption Through Starlink by Elon Musk

 Elon Musk and his company SpaceX, also known as “The Modern-Day Iron Man,” have been working on an interconnected satellite network in low-Earth orbit so people can have an internet connection.




 

On Monday, the company announced that its beta test will be available to the people who have expressed interest in signing up for the service. The product they call Starlink is priced at $99 per month and users will incur a $499 cost upfront for the Starlink Kit.

Starlink Kit includes a $499 user terminal, mounting tripod, and WI-FI router.

According to an email sent to interested parties, the company said people should not expect the test to blow their minds the way one expects from a standard Elon production.

 

Quick reminder the Starlink is a satellite constellation that SpaceX has been trying to build in earth orbit, they have so far launched 900 satellites but that can only cover America and Canada. They have to send a few 1000 more satellites and try to cover the whole planet.

 

Earlier this month also SpaceX announced the deal with Microsoft cloud computing with Starlink.

SpaceX also said that Starlink will bring $30 billion revenue this year away more than their space rocket business.

 

Thanks, Iron Man.
