Elon Musk‘s satellite internet service, Starlink, has started working at a hospital in the Gaza Strip, as Musk announced on his X account. He mentioned that Israel and the United Arab Emirates supported the service’s launch.
What is Musk Starlink’s service?
Starlink is a group of satellites made by SpaceX for internet. It gives fast internet all over the world, even in places where internet is not good. Starlink works with low Earth orbit satellites. It provides internet that is as fast as normal broadband, with less delay, and it works everywhere on Earth. This new way of getting internet helps people in rural areas and places that are hard to reach. It supports everything from regular web surfing to important communications. SpaceX keeps sending more satellites and improving the network. They want to connect more people to the internet and make sure it’s reliable for millions of users.
Benefits of Starlink
Starlink offers several benefits, including:
- Global Coverage: Starlink brings internet to faraway and underserved places where regular internet is hard to get.
- Fast Speed and Low Delay: The service gives fast internet with little delay, which is good for streaming, gaming, video calls, and working from far away.
- Easy Setup: Unlike normal internet that needs a lot of setup, Starlink can be set up fast with just a dish and router, so you can get online quickly.
- Strong Against Disasters: Starlink’s satellites are less likely to get hurt in natural disasters. This means you can still get internet when regular networks might not work.
- Good for Moving Around: Starlink works well for things that move, like RVs, boats, and jobs in remote places, giving them reliable internet.
- Getting Bigger: SpaceX keeps sending more satellites so Starlink can give better service to more places.
- Helping Everyone Get Online: Starlink helps places without the internet get connected, which can help with jobs, school, and talking with others in faraway and rural places.
Who authorized it to operate in GAZA?
While Musk didn’t explicitly mention this hospital in his announcement, it appears to be the same facility referred to by the Communications Ministry. The service has recently begun operations there.
