Starlink will be available on select airplanes with the official launch of Starlink Aviation next year. It claims the service will offer internet speeds of up to 350Mbps to each plane, which it says is fast enough for video calls, online gaming, and other high data rate activities.
It's a big leap up from the average speeds offered by most in-flight wi-fi Depending on the number of passengers using the internet in a flight, the actual speeds can be different.
According to the support pages on the site, the internet connections will be available throughout taxi, takeoff, flight over both land and water, and landing, with a minimum of 20ms of buffering. There will be global coverage of Starlink Aviation. There are always satellites overhead or nearby to provide a strong signal at high latitudes and in polar regions, unlike withgeo-stationary satellites. In mid-2023, deliveries are expected to begin.
Starlink Aviation was able to provide 100Mbps internet on a recent test flight. One of the first air carriers to adopt the inflight internet service was announced to have conducted a demonstration on a flight between Burbank and San Jose.
The system will be available to passengers this month, and each of the company's planes will have it by the end of the year, according to the CEO. Installation of the Starlink system is expected to begin next year.
The Starlink internet service is going to be offered to planes. The Federal Communications Commission approved the use of Starlink on moving platforms. It's for aircraft, ships, large trucks and RV. Starlink RV and Starlink Maritime have been announced.
