The thesis

Starlink operates a constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites delivering broadband to homes, vehicles, ships, and aircraft in regions underserved by terrestrial networks. Direct-to-cell service extends coverage to unmodified phones, and the network doubles as backhaul infrastructure for SpaceX's own launch and Starship operations.

Residential

Enjoy fast, low-latency broadband for streaming, gaming, video calls, and remote work with a simple self-install kit.

Maritime

Maintain high-speed internet connectivity while cruising coastal waters or crossing oceans with global maritime coverage.

Direct to Cell

Compatible LTE phones connect directly to Starlink satellites without requiring a satellite dish or specialized equipment.

Milestones
2019

First batch of satellites deployed

The initial launch put the first production satellites into low-earth orbit, beginning what would become the largest satellite constellation ever operated.

2021

Public beta opens globally

Residential kits began shipping to customers outside the initial test markets, extending coverage into rural regions with no reliable broadband alternative.

2023

Maritime and aviation service launches

Terminals rated for ocean and in-flight use extended the network beyond fixed locations to vessels and aircraft in transit.

2024

Direct-to-cell service begins

Standard LTE phones started connecting straight to Starlink satellites for text messaging, with voice and data following as the constellation expanded.
