SpaceX Starlink achieved a brand new inner median latency file of 28ms on June 1, 2024. It can get to beneath 20 millisecond latency.
SpaceX has despatched a request to the FCC to permit operation at about 350 kilometer as a substitute of 530 kilometers. The nearer operation will scale back the latency by 1.3 milliseconds.
Starlink simply achieved a brand new inner median latency file of 28ms yesterday!
Nice work by the engineering and operations groups.

SpaceX achieved peak obtain velocity of over 17Mb/s from satellite tv for pc direct to unmodified Samsung Android cellphone.
If SpaceX has bigger model 2 or model 3 Starlink satellites launched with Starship to the decrease altitude this might enhance bandwidth by 10 instances. The bigger satellites can have larger antenna and being a lot nearer may also enhance the sign.
It could be affordable to count on the present Gen 2 mini satellites to function at 20-30 Mbps (quicker than the confirmed obtain velocity) for direct to unmodified cellphones.
The total Starship sized Gen 3 satellites to function at 200-300 Mbps for direct to unmodified cellphones.
There may also be modified cellphones, attachable antennas or different means to spice up the sign. The marginally modified cellphones may see 2-10X velocity will increase.
There can be a spread of bigger antennas as much as decrease energy dishes that would offer a spread of communication speeds.
The vary of speeds could be the cellphone textual content communication velocity at perhaps 1-10 kbps and the 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps satellite tv for pc companies. There’ll doubtless be programs to fill within the hole from 30 kbps to 50 Mbps on the 30 kbps, 100 kbps, 300 kbps, 1 Mbps, 5 Mbps, 20 Mbps and 50 Mbps efficiency areas. The ten kbps could be for fundamental voice calls, emails and minimal web knowledge service.
