NEW YORK – SpaceX, owned space aviation company Elon Muskis requesting permission to link the Starlink satellite network to moving objects.
These reports come by submission SpaceX recently to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The company applied for a license to install internet terminals on mobile vehicles such as cars, airplanes, trucks and ships.
The auto sector was chosen because objects such as cars could be a potentially lucrative business route and would expand Starlink’s offerings to rural homes.

The application to the FCC was filed on March 5, 2021 with a request for a “comprehensive license authorization operation” from the Starlink terminal on Earth Stations in Motion – a generic term for cars, trucks, ships and aircraft.
“Users are no longer willing to give up connectivity while en route, whether driving a truck across the country, moving cargo from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight,” wrote the request archive, quoted from The Verge, Tuesday (9/3 / 2021).
SpaceX said it would ensure the installation of ESIM terminals on vehicles and ships was carried out by qualified operators who had an understanding of the antenna radiation environment and maximum protection for the public and the people operating them.
While home users of the Starlink service can set up their own terminals, the company says installing systems in vehicles must meet certain conditions.
With more than 1,000 satellites in space, Starlink SpaceXhas at least 10,000 users via the invite-only beta program that started last year.
The beta program is currently aimed at rural areas of the US with little or no internet connectivity. The Starlink kit with antenna and router costs USD 499, plus USD 99 per month for speeds of around 70 to 130 Mbps.
