SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink is launching an ambitious program called “Community Gateways” that promises speeds of up to 10 Gbps. However, this fast internet comes with a jaw-dropping price tag.
SpaceX holds a pioneering position in providing reliable internet connectivity worldwide. The company has announced a new program called “Community Gateways,” which aims to provide fiber-like internet performance from space, not only for individuals but also for larger communities.
The program is designed to cater to internet service providers aiming to provide high-speed broadband in remote areas. However, the initial cost to join the program is incredibly high: $1.25 million or 37.7 million TL. Additionally, the monthly subscription fee is staggering as well; for 10 Gbps internet, the monthly fee amounts to $75,000. For 10 gigabit speed with less than 99 ms latency, the monthly payment rises to $750,000.
Starlink’s Community Gateway targets internet service providers in remote areas, leveraging its satellite fleet in orbit to provide high-speed broadband. The “Community Gateways” built as part of the program enable Starlink satellites to deliver fiber-like speeds, allowing local providers to connect homes, businesses, and governments using fiber, fixed wireless, and mobile wireless technologies. A “Community Gateway” constructed near the town of Unalaska near Alaska has the capacity to provide 10 gigabit symmetric connections to thousands of new customers.
SpaceX’s new program is considered a significant step towards increasing high-speed internet access in remote areas. However, due to its high cost, it aims to provide a solution targeted towards specific sectors rather than appealing to a wide audience.
