Starlink provides a high-speed, low-latency Broadband Internet across the Globe using a constellation of Satellites in a low orbit. Starlink is an initiative and service provided by the company SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk. SpaceX Rockets are used to launch the Starlink Satellites into orbit.

Starlink requires a clear view of the Sky in order to connect wit the Starlink Satellite Network. Starlink Kits can be pre-ordered which consists of a Dish Antenna – a User Terminal, a Tripod Mount, Power Supply and a Wi-Fi Router and costs about USD 500 to 800. The Internet Services could cost around USD 99 per month. The Starlink Dish connects to the Starlink Satellites and in turn to the Starlink’s Ground Station(s) to provide you with fast Internet Connection.
