Recently there has been widespread discussion on satellite internet services. Starlink is a partner in SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation), a spacecraft owned by the world’s top billionaire Elon Musk. They provide satellite -based Internet services around the world. SpaceX, a spacecraft, Billionaire businessman Elon Mask’s spacecraft, has already started working with the interest of providing satellite internet services in Bangladesh. The service will be provided mainly through Starlink, an Internet service company for SpaceX. Starlink Internet has now been launched experimentally in Bangladesh. The satellite -dependent service is about to unveil a new horizon to reduce the digital discrimination across the country. Currently more than 46 lakh customers are using the satellite in more than 70 countries around the world. Meanwhile the speed of the experimental internet of Sterling in Bangladesh recently received a maximum speed of 220 megabit per second (MBP) and a minimum of 170 Mbps speed. Starlink is a satellite-based Internet network, operated by Starlink Services, LLC. This company is an international telecommunications serviceman and a full -owned assistant company of American space technology company SpaceX. It is currently providing services to more than 100 countries and regions. Recently the start of Sterling’s activities in Bangladesh will be easily provided in remote areas very easily. As a result the difference between the village and the city will be completely lost in Internet service. People will be able to do all the Internet -based work by using high speed Internet in villages and in remote areas. This Starlink will also play a major role in replacing quick communication after the disaster. The satellite internet started long ago. It started with about 100 satellites in the middle of the 1980’s. Then many started providing satellite internet services. As time has passed since then, like other technologies, this technology has improved. The Internet is basically a brief form of the interconnected network. Many call it the net. The Internet is called the method of exchanging data by connecting numerous computer devices through network waves. In most regions of the world, people use cable internet services. The cable internet is usually supplied through submarine cable or optical fiber. The cable is provided with the Internet to connect the computer or laptop via broadband. It is a very fast and popular Internet. However, it is possible to provide internet service to customers directly from the satellite without any satellite internet technology. It is possible to provide internet service through satellites where it is difficult to set up a fiber network in remote areas or villages. In satellite internet technology, to contact the Internet with any other computer from the world to any other computer, the Starlink goes to the satellite near the customer’s computer or mobile to the request. The request then reaches a specific server from one satellite to the other, like the cellular network. Then with the desired information the same manner returns to the customer’s computer or mobile. Thus an internet connection is provided anywhere in the world. Internet connections can be provided even in remote mountains or jungles. The method of working at Starlink is very startling. Starlink works a lot like satellite television. Many geostationary satellites have been set up outside the world. These satellites are located in the orbit of the earth 35,786 km away from the surface of the earth. They are called geostationary satellites. Starlink originally provides the Internet through these satellites. The biggest advantage of the Starlink Internet is the high speed Internet. It is not possible to disrupt the Internet as a result of any natural disasters because of wireless. Although the submarine cable and the Internet are likely to disrupt its tears, it is not possible to have that Starlink. It can also be used from anywhere. Sometimes its speed is usually faster than the promise. In addition to the residential needs, the corporate client also has Starlink. Already, they have conducted business activities in a wide range. They have services in the United States to transport airlines, ships, recreational vehicles, and trucks. The ground station is set up as a gateway to protect the uninterrupted connection between the satellites. They take data from the satellite and keep the way to reach a certain destination. A ground station is usually widely widened throughout the square feet. There are 5 antennas surrounded by brackets. The most interesting aspect of Starlink is the fast download benefit. To use the Internet of Starlink, the customer will need to install a device like a television dish antenna. It maintains contact with those satellites. The machine is given a whole toolkit with it when purchasing. In addition to the Starlink antenna, there are stands, starlink cables, Jane Three routers, AC Cable and Power Adapters. The antenna is suitable for mounting anywhere. It also applies to an object as fast as a train. However, the condition is that there is no barrier between the sky and the antenna. Customers can use the Internet by adding the router of Sterling with this antenna. This toolkit and ground station jointly made Starlink potential. Because it will make it possible to establish a high -speed internet connection in remote mountains or jungles. SpaceX-owned Starlink is mainly providing Internet services using Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. According to Starlink’s website, the Starlink Kit contains a receiver or antenna, kickstand, router, cable and power supply. The key is priced between US $ 349-599. In Bangladesh, the potential price can be 60-70 thousand taka. Then the subscription fee should be paid every month. As an international organization Sterlink has to follow the rules of the country to provide services to any region of the world. After the permission of the National Telecommunications Authority there, the service started marketing. For this, Starlink goes to a long -lasting international agreement with certain countries. This agreement includes the common deadline and principle of licensing. In Bangladesh, the experimental journey of the Sterling Internet has begun a new era in the digital range. This service will be helpful to make high -speed Internet access nationwide. At present it is considered as a major step in establishing equality in technology for Bangladesh.
