Photo: The Verge SpaceX’s satellite internet network team Starlink is in talks with “several” airlines to implement allowing users to access the internet on their flights. The project’s vice president said during a conference on Wednesday (June 9) that the company is continuously developing, expanding bandwidth to serve commercial projects later this year. “We’re in talks with a number of airlines,” said Jonathan Hofeller, vice president of SpaceX. “We are developing our own airline service… we have done a number of tests so far and are looking to perfect those products to put on flights in the very near future.” SpaceX began piloting the Starlink satellite in 2018 to address the global scarcity of broadband internet connections, especially in rural areas where fiber optic connections are often unavailable. Under the trial plan, Starlink customers will pay a one-time fee of $499 for a package that includes a Wi-Fi router, self-regulating Starlink pan, and $99 per month for monthly internet services thereafter. Since its first launch, the company has launched nearly 1,800 Starlink satellites out of the 4,400 it estimates it will need for global coverage. Last year, SpaceX submitted plans to test Starlink on five Gulfstream jets. In March, SpaceX also negotiated with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to apply Starlink technology on all popular vehicles from trucks, marine ships to airplanes. Elon Musk made it clear on Twitter at the time: “We do not connect Tesla cars to Starlink, because our terminal is too big, This controller is only for airplanes, ships, big trucks “. Starlink’s satellites are in low Earth orbit, lower than the geostationary orbit of the larger satellites that currently provide Internet services to commercial aircraft. It is the technology that makes airlines choose to cooperate with Starlink over other competitors. However, the same technology is now being used by a range of competitors. Amazon recently announced plans for 3,000 of its own low-orbit satellites, and the UK’s OneWeb has also launched 182 of the roughly 640 planned satellites. Competitors to Starlink with plans to commercialize the aircraft are Intelsat and ViaSa, which operate satellite networks in geostationary orbit. ViaSat recently announced plans to use its next-generation satellite network on Delta’s main fleet. The California-based company is planning a low-orbit network of 300 satellites that will begin launching early next year. According to experts, Viasat will be a stiff competitor to SpaceX in the future.

SpaceX denied claims that the Starlink and OneWeb satellites almost collided In a filing submitted to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after a meeting between representatives of SpaceX, OneWeb and FCC, SpaceX said that, in fact, the probability of a collision never exceeds the allowed threshold and the satellite will not be able to collide even if it is active. They have also corrected records regarding recent press releases regarding the physical coordination between SpaceX and OneWeb. Meeting between the parties took place the day after the flyer The Wall Street Journal published an article titled “Elon Musk’s satellite Internet project is too risky,” in which OneWeb made allegations that the Starlink satellites had approached other satellites alarmingly two. times in the past two years, including the last which took place on April 2, when a satellite Starlink Send a request to a OneWeb satellite to take collision avoidance measures. Sheet The Wall Street Journal quoted Chris McLaughlin, OneWeb’s director of legal and government relations, saying, “While working with OneWeb, SpaceX disabled the automated collision avoidance system supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to allow OneWeb to steer its satellite away from other satellites. It is unclear exactly why SpaceX disables the collision avoidance system when the Starlink satellite is within 57 meters from the opponent’s satellite. SpaceX has not yet commented on this issue. In a filing filed with the FCC on April 21, SpaceX said: “OneWeb recently made clear and inaccurate statements to the media about recent coordination. Specifically, Mr. McLaughlin of OneWeb told the newspaper Wall Street Journal that SpaceX has powered off the automatic satellite collision avoidance system. In reality, however, SpaceX and OneWeb have worked well together on a technical level. And OneWeb itself has asked SpaceX to temporarily turn off the AI ​​system to allow them to control the satellite as agreed by the parties. SpaceX’s automatic collision avoidance system has been and still works well at all times. According to SpaceX, OneWeb admitted wrongly and offered to withdraw its false statements during the meeting with SpaceX and FCC. SpaceX expressed its disappointment to the FCC that OneWeb officials chose to make public false information about the coordination’s plight. Successful coordination depends on trust and transparency among satellite operators. Also in the filing to the FCC, SpaceX confirmed that the possibility of collisions between satellites is very small. Other data also showed that “probability of collisions between satellites is below the permitted threshold and continues to decrease”. OneWeb launched satellite launch operations on April 3, and the satellites are eventually more than 1,000 meters apart. The probability of a collision happening is extremely small.

Break boundaries in Internet access Elon Musk’s project of covering the Internet around the Earth has begun for users to sign up for testing. You can be one of the first to use this service even while living in Vietnam. Starlink’s ambition is to use 12,000 low-end satellites to cover the Internet to every corner of the globe. So far, this project has been successful in covering all over the Americas with a total of 1,261 satellites in orbit. The billionaire Elon Musk’s satellite Internet project also targets Vietnamese users. Currently, Starlink started allowing users to pre-order to use the service. Accordingly, when accessing the website of Starlink, users can easily choose familiar cities of Vietnam such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Da Nang, Hai Phong, Can Tho … to register for history. use this service. Startlink will start providing satellite Internet services to users in Vietnam in 2022. However, to be one of the first users, users have to pay a fee of 99 USD (about 2.3 million VND) to “book”. Payment will be made via international cards such as VISA, Master Card. The kit offered will include a Starlink satellite pan, WiFi router, power supply, cable, and rack. In case of change of mind, Starlink will refund the deposit to the user. Assoc.Prof.Dr Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Space Center, said that Starlink is a satellite constellation project, in which thousands of small satellites are launched into low Earth orbit (abbreviated as LEO – Low Earth Orbit), located 550km from the ground. Internet signals will be shot from satellites straight down to receivers on the ground, then these devices will broadcast the signal through the local system or directly via wires connected to the customer’s Starlink router. The strength of satellite Internet is breaking down distance limits. Hilly areas, islands, complicated difficult terrain … still have simple internet access Satellite Internet works similarly to cable Internet, except that the system has more moving elements. When the customer accesses, the data request will be transferred from the computer to a satellite internet pan. This pan will broadcast a data request to a satellite orbiting the Earth. At this point, the satellite will send the received request to the ISP. The data is transmitted from the carrier to the satellite, then from the satellite to the satellite Internet pan, down to your router and into the computer. The more satellites, the more stable the signal. These satellites act like base stations, except that they are not obstructed by topographic space. Competition between suppliers According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Pham Anh Tuan, the appearance of the SpaceX provider will create fierce competition from today’s telecom businesses. However, the bigger problem is that we do not have legal bases to manage cybersecurity for foreign suppliers. Therefore, in the coming time, there will be a need to consider legal frameworks to manage network information security, avoid bad and negative information, affecting socio-economic security. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Huu Thanh, Director of the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications, Hanoi University of Technology, this technology will create a big competition with network operators. Currently, Vietnam’s Internet is also relatively good, has coverage in remote areas, islands, but not as flexible as satellite Internet. Starlink is faster than optical fiber depending on the provider, but it is known that the bandwidth of the satellite Internet is very large, so it will compete greatly with current providers. The important point to compete here is the fee charged by the satellite internet provider, if it is too high, it will also be difficult to attract users. According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Thanh, when the entire Starlink satellite system is put into orbit, this service will provide almost global coverage to populated areas. Users using the service only need to buy a pan to catch the waves, like a pan to watch TV. As for cybersecurity, if we talk about hacker intrusions and users, each person must be equipped with tools to protect themselves. Therefore, this problem is the same as with Vietnamese carriers only. The most important thing is to have fair competition policies, otherwise this market will be lost to foreign hands According to experts, Starlink can have coverage to the country or not depending on the country’s regulations. Currently, many countries have allowed Starlink to operate, but China and Russia will require the service to comply with special rules if they allow Starlink to broadcast on their own frequencies. Some countries prohibit the purchase, sale and use of ground-mounted Starlink receivers. In Vietnam, to manage satellite Internet, it is necessary to soon have appropriate regulations. In terms of feasibility, the cost of Internet services from the orbital satellite cluster is as low as that of Starlink is still 7-8 times higher than the price of fixed broadband Internet service in Vietnam. In the case of being deployed in Vietnam, satellite Internet service will be the solution to the problem of Internet coverage in areas with divided terrain such as hills, islands … In addition, the provision of satellite Internet services using low-orbit satellite beam technology promotes the development of the maritime and aviation industries.

The technology giants like Amazon, SpaceX, OneWeb continuously pour money to invest in satellite Internet. Photo: TechCrunch In recent years, satellite broadband is becoming an increasingly popular way to connect to the Internet. Major space companies are also in the race to build ultra-high-speed Internet services through orbiting satellites. Now, the field is forming a model similar to the “Seven Warring Heroes”. The companies are all moving towards a common goal: competing to be the biggest brand in broadband satellite and SpaceX’s position with Starlink dominance is being challenged. SpaceX’s Starlink project SpaceX boss – Elon Musk Of all the companies, SpaceX is the one involved with the most satellite launches. Its Starlink project has more than 1,350 satellites in orbit and plans to launch 42,000 satellites by mid-2027. Eventually, SpaceX hopes to have thousands of satellites around the Earth to establish a global network. Starlink’s Beta “Better than Nothing” was launched last October and attracted more than 10,000 users in six different countries. Starlink’s business model connects customers directly with satellites without the intervention of telecom companies between the two parties. Users register for Starlink service through the website. Once the order is accepted, Starlink will send the hardware set to the customer, which includes a tripod, WiFi router and satellite antenna. Monthly subscription fee is $ 99, and maximum download speed can reach 210 Mbps. Starlink is expanding rapidly and plans to install antennas on vehicles and connect them to satellite networks. According to the test of Internet analytics service developer Ookla, the download speed when using SpaceX’s satellite Internet is 95% faster than the normal Internet in the United States. Project Kuiper from Amazon The Amazon project is named Kuiper In 2018, Amazon’s Kuiper Project was revealed. At that time, government documents showed that the tech giant was working to build global space-based Internet services. The goal of the project is to launch 3236 satellites into a 630 km long orbit, very close to the 550 km altitude of the Starlink satellite. In January of this year, the US Federal Communications Commission approved the Kuiper Project to launch Amazon satellites into space before July 2029, and connect them to antennas on Earth to provide translation. Internet service. As of July 30, 2026, 50% of the project’s satellites will operate. Like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the boss of Amazon, also owns a private rocket and space service company called Blue Orgin. Although no specific plans have been announced, the company is believed to be in charge of bringing the Kuiper satellite into orbit. OneWeb The Soyuz-2.1b carrier missile carries 36 OneWeb satellites that take off from the launch pad of the Vostocini launch pad. OneWeb is a UK owned broadband satellite provider. It currently has 146 satellites in orbit, 1,200 km from the ground and plans to launch a total of 648 satellites to provide global Internet service. In November last year, the company got out of bankruptcy thanks to the British government and India’s Bharti Group. OneWeb hopes to provide Internet services to the entire UK by June. Its latest service will cover the highest latitudes in the world, including Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia and Nordic countries. This British company provides a B2B model, provides satellite Internet to telecom companies, then the telecom companies deliver services to customers. Both SpaceX and OneWeb launched satellites into space on March 25, clearly showing a race between the world’s two leading powers in space technology. Hughes Net Satellite team Hughes Jupiter 2 Hughes Net is the largest satellite Internet provider in the United States. It relies on geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites 36,210 km away to transmit the Internet back to earth. The main difference between a satellite operating in low Earth Orbit (LEO) and a geostationary satellite is that GEO satellites can cause delays in video calls and public calls. other technology. However, the GEO satellites are in a fixed position, so unlike LEO satellites, they will not travel in orbit but target a specific area. The Hughes Network has more than 1.5 million users and six satellites in orbit, covering different areas of North America, South America and Canada, including Mexico, Brazil and Chile. The last satellite that Hughes launched was in June 2018 and its goal is to put another satellite, called Jupiter 3, into orbit by the second half of 2022. It is said that this will be a commercial satellite. the biggest ever. Hughes’ satellite service costs range from $ 59.99 to $ 149.99 per month and download speeds of 25Mbps. The kit is priced at $ 249.99, and the installation costs $ 199. The company also offers public WiFi hotspots for rural Latin America for people who cannot afford subscription fees. Telesat Daniel Goldberg, CEO and President of Telesat, Canada’s satellite operator Telesat has 15 GEO satellites at an altitude of 35,000 km above Earth. The company also plans to build an LEO Internet called “LightSpeed”. The first 298 satellites built by Thales Alenia Space are scheduled to launch in early 2023 and provide global services by 2024. According to reports, Goldberg confirmed at the 2021 LEO Satellite Digital Forum on April 6 that the LightSpeed ​​project would cost $ 5 billion. This is much cheaper than the projects of SpaceX and Amazon, which are more than $ 10 billion. Goldberg recently stated that Telesat has the best pricing in the market. In 2019, Telesat signed a launch agreement with Blue Origin to use New Glenn rockets to send LEO satellites into orbit. David Wendling, Telesat’s chief technology officer, revealed that the company has three other startups underway. ViaSat ViaSat application on smartphone ViaSat is headquartered in California, USA, operates five GEO satellites at an altitude of about 35,000 km from the Earth’s surface. The company will put three extremely powerful GEO satellites into orbit by the beginning of 2022 and achieve globalization goals until 2023. ViaSat also plans to put 288 satellites into orbit LEO by 2026. ViaSat executive chairman and co-founder Mark Dankberg said the GEO and LEO satellites would complement each other. ViaSat is working hard to create a “multi-orbit satellite Internet where users can seamlessly use GEO satellites and LEO satellites.” In December 2020, Viasat asked the FCC to study Starlink’s potential environmental impact. In response, Musk wrote on Twitter: “Obviously, Starlink is a ‘threat’ to Viasat’s profits.” Eutelsat Eutelsat is Europe’s satellite operator with 39 GEO satellites at an altitude of 46,000 km. The company now provides Internet services to the regions of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and plans to launch another satellite called Konnect VHTS to cover the rest of Europe. Michel Azibert, Executive Vice President of Eutelsat, said: “Konnect VHTS will change the rules of the game and allow Eutelsat to seamlessly deliver powerful Internet services to users at prices comparable to the above operators. ground.” Azibert says Eutelsat’s satellite service “is much lower than Starlink, very well suited to the rural markets we’re targeting in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.” Eutelsat was founded in 1977 and launched its first satellite in 1983.
