According to SpaceX, the general population is no longer willing to be without internet while on the move, and therefore wants to make the internet option available for planes, trucks and boats. However, a limitation of the signal reception technology of the Starlink was also apparent in the application: it depends on the installation of a satellite dish in the place where the internet is contracted to be received, and the installation in vehicles will depend on specialized professionals, who understand the radiation of the antennas and how to apply it in a way that it is more safe for the general public.
A potential problem that can also occur with the internet for planes, trucks and boats from Starlink is that the technology uses some radio waves also used by locations in the NASA and astronomical observatories, which made the SpaceX agreed that if a vehicle with the Starlink installed near these places, the signal will be cut so as not to disturb the activities carried out there.
On Twitter, the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk also talked about the plan to bring internet to vehicles, and explained that the technology will not be compatible with Tesla cars.
O Starlink is with open for subscriptions for those who live in the US and want to test the technology, but it is only available in specific places at the time. The forecast of her arrival in the entire United States is for the end of this year.
