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.
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. [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 ...
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 ...
ViaSat-3 is a planned global constellation of three geostationary K a-band communications satellites, the first of which was launched in 2023. [1] Operated by Viasat, Inc., the satellites are intended to provide broadband connectivity with speeds of 100-plus megabits per second to homes, business and enterprise internet users, commercial, government and business aircraft, as well as government ...
The launch schedule slipped multiple times but eventually launched in April 2023. [118] [119] In 2020, SpaceX hired retired four-star general Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy who, according to some sources, is associated with Starlink's military satellite development, and according to one source, is listed as a "chief operating officer" at SpaceX.
Starlink 3680 (or Starlink 2022-025P) launched in this stack has maneuvered and moved to Shell 1 of starlink satellites. Possibly some other satellites in this stack will also joining the Shell 1 Starlinks in near future.

ViaSat launched the highest capacity satellite ever, ViaSat-1, in 2011 to expand the WildBlue base under its Exede brand. In 2007, Hughes Communications started deploying K a band VSAT sites for consumers under its HughesNet brand on the Spaceway 3 satellite and later in 2012 on its EchoStar XVII/Jupiter 1 satellite.
