What is the Starlink satellite for?

The near-Earth orbit satellite is to build a global high-speed Internet network.

1, to provide broadband Internet services: Starlink satellites are designed to provide high-speed Internet access to all parts of the globe, especially remote areas and places that are difficult to be covered by traditional network infrastructure. Through a vast network formed by thousands of satellites, Starlink is able to provide network speeds comparable to terrestrial fiber-optic networks, enabling users to access the Internet from virtually anywhere.

2. Bridging the digital divide: By reducing geographic constraints, Starlink is committed to making the benefits of the Internet available to those who currently do not have access to a reliable Internet connection, and to promoting the development of areas such as education, healthcare, commerce, and communications.

3. Emergency communications: In the event of natural disasters or other emergencies that result in damage to the terrestrial communications infrastructure, the Starlink network can be used as a backup means of communication to provide emergency response and rescue communications support.
