Starlink unveils new smaller user dish to connect to satellites
San Francisco: SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s satellite Internet service Starlink has unveiled a new smaller and rectangular dish that interested customers can buy to tap into the company’s growing satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.
According to The Verge, it is a thinner and lighter-weight option than the circular dish that Starlink beta users have been testing over the last year.
Starlink is SpaceX’s satellite internet project, which aims to launch nearly 12,000 satellites into low Earth orbit where they can provide broadband internet coverage to people on the ground — notably those in remote and rural areas where traditional internet infrastructure is lacking.
