SpaceX has addressed mounting worries about Starlink’s ability to function on smartphones indoors, especially as the company prepares to extend satellite connectivity. A key SpaceX engineer clarified that Starlink aims to support indoor usage through both hardware advancements and satellite positioning.
Starlink, known for its satellite-based internet, originally focused on outdoor connectivity. However, new developments suggest SpaceX is exploring options for seamless indoor connections. Their ambitious project intends to provide more stable connectivity with improved satellite coverage, overcoming traditional barriers of indoor network interruptions.
SpaceX will increase internet speed by 10 times with 2nd generation Starlink satellites and reduce latency by operating at a lower altitude.
Through a new satellite alignment, they plan to direct stronger signal strengths to residential and commercial buildings, thus boosting overall performance. This adjustment could make Starlink a major player in mobile connectivity, especially in remote or underserved areas.
