Viasat, by comparison, has only a few satellites and is slower by comparison. In 2022, semi-private air carrier JSX was the first company to ink a deal for Starlink .
Starlink, with average upload speeds of 12.04 Mbps, was much faster than HughesNet at 2.54 Mbps and Viasat at 2.88 Mbps. All fixed broadband had an average upload speed of 19.49 Mbps.
How satellite internet works. Satellite Internet generally relies on three primary components: a satellite – historically in geostationary orbit (or GEO) but now increasingly in Low Earth orbit (LEO) or Medium Earth orbit MEO) [23] – a number of ground stations known as gateways that relay Internet data to and from the satellite via radio waves (), and further ground stations to serve each ...
A satellite internet constellation is a constellation of artificial satellites providing satellite internet service.In particular, the term has come to refer to a new generation of very large constellations (sometimes referred to as megaconstellations [1]) orbiting in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide low-latency, high bandwidth internet service.

I tried Elon Musk's Starlink WiFi on its first Qatar Airways flight. Making video calls at 36,000 feet is a game changer for business and leisure. Pete Syme. October 26, 2024 at 8:09 AM.
A high-throughput satellite (HTS) is a communications satellite which provides more throughput than a classic fixed service satellite (FSS). An HTS provides at least twice, though usually 20 times or more, [1] throughput for the same amount of allocated orbital spectrum, thus significantly reducing cost-per-bit. [2]
Even without the DTC market, Starlink is expected to rake in between $6.6 billion and $6.8 billion in revenue this year from selling broadband internet service alone, and it generates a free-cash ...
