SpaceX to Sell Wireless High-Speed Internet from Space

FCC gives approval to SapceX to Sell Wireless High-Speed Home Internet from Space. Wireless internet signal broadcasting from satellite is nothing new. Problem with the current solution – those satellites are in higher orbit, slower speed and has data-cap.

SpaceX has a solution – they will launch 4,425 satellites in much lower orbit than the current Wireless internet system.

SapceX’s satellites will be able to provide faster internet signal.They will cover rural areas (where high speed fiber network is not available) and underdeveloped countries.

One of the biggest advantage of this will be for the people working in areas disaster zone. With his new satellite system they will be able to use high speed internet. SapceX has already tested the system with fewer satellites.
