Musk expects Starlink network bandwidth to increase 100-fold
The SpaceX founder plans to launch version three satellites and raise the production tenfold compared to the current number
NEW YORK, November 7. /TASS/. The bandwidth of the Starlink satellite network will be increased 100-fold in 2-3 years thanks to the launch of new-version spacecraft, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said.
"We have 11,000 satellites up there right now. Primarily, the version two satellite. We've just started launching the version three satellite. Version three satellite has over 10 times the capability of version two satellite, and we'll be launching 10 times as many of them. So, the amount of bandwidth that Starlink will produce in two to three years will be 100 times more bandwidth than it currently offers," he said in an interview with entrepreneur Ron Baron.
Musk added that the next version of Starlink satellites - V4 - will be 10 times more powerful than the V3 satellites.
