Starlink- 7000 satellite nets, 12 times faster .. How does the internet of Musk work ready to come to India?

Now soon the internet of Allen Musk, the world’s richest man, is coming to your home. In fact, Bharti Airtel has joined hands with Musk’s company Spacex to start Starlink’s satellite internet service inside India. Now the question can come in your mind that what is special in this, the internet is already coming to our house?
You just give us 5 minutes. We will tell you in this explanner

Q-What is the agreement between Airtel and Spacex?

Airtel announced an agreement with Allen Musk’s aerospace company Spacex to bring high-speed internet services of Starlink for its customers in India. Starlink is the only subsidiary company of Spacex that provides satellite internet. This is the first time Spacex has tied up with an Indian company for satellite internet.

Q- When is Starlink Internet coming in India and how expensive will it be?

Airtel has clearly stated that high-speed internet services through Starlink will be started only when the Government of India will get permission to operate Starlink in India. Starlink will have to get permission from the Union Home Ministry and Indian customers will also have to buy spectrum before serving. The company refuses the government to share the data of its customers, citing privacy. Whereas the Government of India describes it as necessary for security reasons.

Now the question of the question of the question will be expensive in India? Right now nothing has been told by Starlink, nor leaves have been opened by Airtel. However, how much the Starlinks charge for the Internet in America, something can be obtained from it.

On the Starlink website, when we saw the Residential Charge (ie for a house) for New York, USA, it was found that it was $ 120 a month. About 10,500 rupees in Indian currency. Now if you compare this with India, the user here usually spends around 40 American dollars on the Internet in a year- meaning as much as we spend in a year, Alan Musk’s company takes three times more than that in just one month. In India, it will have to keep its charge very less.

Q-Spacex’s Starlink Satellite Internet is different?

The internet we and the internet you use in India are wireless cellular type internet or broadband type. In this, cable or mobile tower is used and with its help, the Internet spectrum reaches your system (lapi, mobile ..). The technique of the satellite internet that Starlink uses is completely different from this.

Starlinks deliver the internet directly to us with the help of its satellite (satellite) network present in space. With this, the Internet can also be transported to remote villages and hill inaccessible areas because this work is being done directly with the help of satellite, not from any tower on the earth.

Let’s explain it further.

Q-Starlink: How did the Internet world change with small coaches floating in space?

Starlink is not the only company that provides satellite internet. Despite this, Starlink claims that it is the best satellite internet providing company. Why? To know this, we went to the Starlink website.

According to the company, most of the company providing satellite internet services gives the internet with the help of the same geostationary satellite (which is the earth’s relative stable). These satellites revolve around the earth in high meaning orbit at 35,786 km. What happens is that the round trip data time it takes to get out of the data from your phone to the satellite and come back to another system is very high.

While Starlink has installed a group of 7000 satellites in very close to the Earth, low meaning arbit (about 550 km away). At this distance, he is circling the earth and cover the whole world in the matter of internet. Since Starlink satellite is in low arbitra (lower class), internet speed is very fast here.

What are Q-low earth orbit satellites?

You also seem to tell what is the low meaning orbit in which 7000 satellites of Starlink are circling. Low Earth Orbit is 2,000 km or less distance room from the earth, ie there is an emotional route on which a satellite revolves. The satellites that are in this room are very close to the earth and the internet provided with it, the delay is very less in it.

While geostationary satellite internet is delayed by 240 MS, this delay in low meaning orbit is only 20 MS. Due to its small reasons and size, Leo satellite can be made on a large scale and made. The cost of each can be at least $ 7,000 before the launch expenses.

Q- How is the starlink spreading in the world?

According to Starlink’s available map, Spacex’s Starlink Satellite Internet service has now started in more than 100 countries. However, the company had told in December 2024 that its service is on in 72 countries. It has about 50 lakh users.

Map shows that Starlink is available in most parts of America, Europe, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. It is currently in the waiting list due to lack of permission and capacity from many countries and regions including India.
