Technology

How Starlink Works

Traditional satellite Internet services use single geostationary satellites that orbit the Earth at a very high altitude (over 30,000 km). This means that the data has to travel a long distance between the user and the satellite, which causes high latency. High latency makes it difficult to use online applications that require fast and smooth data transmission, such as online collaboration, video conferencing, or cloud computing.

Starlink uses Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology that uses a constellation of thousands of satellites that orbit the Earth at a much lower altitude. This means that the data has to travel a shorter distance between the user and the satellite, which reduces latency significantly.

GEO

Geostationary Earth Orbit Satellite

Over 30,000 km

Orbit the Earth at an altitude of over 30,000 km above the equator, matching the Earth's rotational period. Appear to be stationary in the sky from a fixed point on Earth. Mainly used for weather data, broadcast TV, and some low-speed data communications. Advantages: high-capacity density, low cost per bit, large coverage area. Disadvantages: high latency (about 600 ms).

MEO

Medium Earth Orbit Satellite

5,000 — 20,000 km

Orbit the Earth at an altitude between 5,000 and 20,000 km, moving faster than GEO satellites. Complete one orbit in between two and eight hours. Mainly used for navigation purposes, such as GPS, Glonass, and Galileo. Advantages: lower latency than GEO (about 50 ms), higher throughput. Disadvantages: need more satellites to cover the same area.

LEO

Low Earth Orbit Satellite

Up to 2,000 km

Orbit the Earth at an altitude up to 2,000 km. Complete one orbit in about 90 minutes. Mainly used for communication and observation purposes, such as satellite phones, Internet access, remote sensing, and space exploration. Advantages: worldwide coverage, low latency.
