Used by millions of users in over 120 countries and on all seven continents, Starlink guarantees ultra-fast connections thanks to its satellites in low orbit, positioned 65 times closer than traditional geostationary satellites. This approach enables speeds of up to 500 Mbps, with reduced latency, providing an in-flight connection experience never seen before.
