Satellite Internet service starlink, provided by Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) is preparing to activate its first batch of new satellites. Currently, Starlink is providing users with Internet coverage, and its proposal revolves around the provision of its worldwide network via small satellites, ground stations and users. So that its service can be improved, the company has deployed even more new satellites.

As Starlink intends to go further and further, distributing its service across the globe, the new satellites seek to precisely to diversify coverage, improve speeds, in addition to reducing infrastructure costs, which end up being very tall.
Another company innovation was the implementation of satellites that have optical links, called lasers. This allows the spacecraft to transfer data within itself, and because of this, there is an increase in the range over which the network can operate, without necessarily having to rely on ground stations.
One of the company's new proposals is the search for activation of spacecraft in polar orbits. That request was sent to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) earlier this month. In this way, the company would operate its satellites at latitudes greater than 53 degrees, where the Internet is usually very difficult to find.
Starlink is owned by SpaceX, a company known for being an aerospace manufacturer, which spent three years launching more than a thousand satellites into orbit. The idea is that these satellites can connect people to broadband internet at high speeds, even in remote access locations.
Until recently, even though an internet network was considered ideal for areas of the globe where connectivity was a challenge, Starlink was only available in areas of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and a few other regions located between 45 and 53 degrees latitude north.
