Starlink is a global satellite system developed by SpaceX to provide high-speed broadband internet access to hard-to-reach and remote areas. The system is designed to provide internet access at a speed of 1 Gbit/s, which corresponds to the 5G standard. The first Starlink satellite was launched in 2019, and today there are thousands of satellites operating in low Earth orbit.
