SpaceX Has a Plan for Starlink to Hit Gigabit Speeds
Elon Musk's satellite internet company told the FCC that a few tweaks to its “orbital configuration and operational parameters” could result in nearly 10 times faster downloads.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote Monday that "next generation Starlink satellites, which are so big that only Starship can launch them, will allow for a 10X increase in bandwidth and, with the reduced altitude, faster latency." "Once fully optimized through the Final Deployment, the system will be able to provide high bandwidth (up to 1 Gbps per user), low-latency broadband services for consumers and businesses in the US and globally," SpaceX told the FCC in November 2016. Meanwhile, upgrades to Starlink's Gen2 satellites "will feature enhanced hardware that can use higher gain and more advanced beamforming and digital processing technologies and provide more targeted and robust coverage for American consumers," SpaceX said.
