The system began to be actively used during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, because Russian attacks led to problems in the telecommunications network.

Starlink is a project of the American company SpaceX, which provides access to broadband Internet anywhere in the world. The company was the first to serve Canada and the United States. However, after February 24, it became important for Ukrainians.

Who can use Starlink in Ukraine

In response to the Russian invasion and the request of the Ministry of Digital Development, Elon Musk gave the residents of Ukraine access to Starlink satellite Internet.

After a while, the State Service for Special Communications decided to allow all Ukrainians to use the terminal for the period of martial law.

What does the system consist of?

The system consists of three parts: satellites, a network of ground stations and terminals. It is located in low Earth orbit at an altitude of 540-550 km with an inclination of 53 degrees, reducing signal delay to the end user.

To use, a terminal is required. He independently adjusts the receiving antenna, reminiscent of a television satellite dish, to an available satellite, after which a connection to the Internet is established.

How to connect

Terminals are delivered to Ukraine with installation and configuration instructions:

  • It is necessary to connect the antenna to the Ethernet adapter using the cable included in the kit (if there is no Ethernet adapter, then directly to the terminal). And connect the adapter to the terminal.

  • Connect the terminal to the network.

  • Install the Starlink application on your smartphone or tablet from Google Play or the AppStore.

  • Connect to the Starlink terminal’s Wi-Fi network.

As for speed, for Starlink Basic users – 50-250 Mbps, for Starlink Premium users – 150-500 Mbps.

Where to buy Starlink

The cost of a standard set of equipment is $599. At the same time, it will be necessary to pay monthly from $110. For business users, a set of equipment costs $2,500.
