Starlink is like a new kind of satellite internet service that uses small satellites flying in space to connect people to the internet. The user experience centers around a “Starlink Dish,” which is installed at the customer’s location. This dish automatically adjusts itself to stay connected, even when the weather is not perfect. Plus, ground stations strategically positioned around the globe link the satellite network to terrestrial data centers, seamlessly integrating Starlink with the broader internet infrastructure.

The satellites are closer to Earth than the ones used by traditional internet services, which makes the internet faster. Starlink is especially helpful when getting good internet is difficult, like in remote areas. Starlink is working to make this internet available all around the world by launching more satellites.
