When we returned to the nineteenth century on Monday, some people felt their mobiles had become paisabbils: To call and have no contact without dataThey don’t help see time. Spain’s collapse On April 28, we are currently making an electric pro.
One of the biggest plays for people There is no internet connection. However, There were also opposing and affiliates. Thank you for Elon Mask.
StarlingCreated SpaceX – Muskin Aerospace Company – Satellite provides internet access through the galaxy In the lower orbit, it allows you to provide the link even in distant areas or suffers from natural disasters. This system does not depend on the traditional terrain infrastructure, so it is not affected by the power of the electric phase.
Therefore, millions of houses in Spain were subjected to an unprecedented power cut on April 28, Elon Muskin Starling Service continues to work. The satellite internet system proved its benefit than traditional infrastructure by maintaining an active connection even in the entire emergency.
Network that does not depend on the floor
As we say, Starling is one of some of the systems that continued to work without interruptions. Social Network X (Twitter), Many customers highlighted it E. Mask also shared the release of Michael Nichols. “As long as the terminal has energy, you can keep the connection.”
Nichols responded to the release Youtubber Redskal promised to thank the Internet power plant provided by the solar panel and Starling.
How Starling is doing
Starling is the network of satellites in the lower terrain orbit – at a height of about 550 kilometers – Cables, towers or land infrastructure provides high speed internet access without need. Important is in its galaxy, which is formed by over 5,000 satellites, which in practice include the entire surface of the planet and allows you to provide connectivity to isolated or even rural areas.
To connect to the network, users They need to install a parallel antenna – Starling terminal – and a Router WiFi. This antenna is directly interacted with satellites in the orbit, sending and receiving data without going through traditional telecommunications networks. Therefore, even in situations such as blackouts, earthquakes or natural disasters, the system can continue to operate, and the user has the energy to feed the device.
Until now, tried the musk satellite internet He has no competition but things may change soon: Amazon, for example, is creating its own service under the name Qiber He started now His first satellites.
Starling costs in Spain
In Spain, Starling has been available since January 2022 and its price has been cut off. Currently, the most basic project costs 29 euros per month and allows unlimited navigation with low priority at peak times. The standard plan with preference data is fixed at 40 euros per month.
For this we need to add the team’s price, which includes antenna and Router. Its regular price is 349 euros, however there are specific ads, which can be obtained for 249 euros or Is free even if a permanent commitment is signed.
In fact, on April 22, Starling’s official account was announced at X (Twitter) A promotion to Spain This allows you to obtain free equipment with monthly subscription and 12 -month certainty.
How many users use Starling in Spain?
To date, No official statistics released by SpaceX or Starling that describes the number of users in Spain. However, worldwide, Starling has experienced significant growth. In September 2024, SpaceX President Quin Shadwell announced that the service had exceeded four million subscribers in more than 100 countries, including us. Satellite Internet company has previously shared a fact:
Currently, the number of users on the Starling website has risen Are more than five million. However, no specific data for Spain is available.
In our country, Starling is especially attractive to residents in rural areas Or with limited coverage, traditional connection alternatives are lack of shortage.
