SpaceX’s mobile ambitions were dealt a blow when the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) denied its application to use additional spectrum bands for mobile communications via Starlink satellites. The application, filed more than a year ago, envisaged the use of up to 7,500 second-generation Starlink satellites in the 1.6 GHz, 2 GHz and 2.4 GHz […]
The smuggling of Starlink satellite Internet terminals created by the American company SpaceX under the leadership of Elon Musk has become a global problem, Bloomberg reports, citing sources, Forbes reports. This has become especially noticeable in regions with poor connectivity where there is a great need for high-speed Internet, such as Yemen and Sudan, where […]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authorized SpaceX to use E-band frequencies between Starlink’s second-generation satellites and ground gateways, along with the already approved Ka and Ku bands. In particular, SpaceX is now allowed to communicate at 71-76 GHz from space to Earth and at 81-86 GHz from Earth to space, using up to 7,500 […]
