Starlink, the satellite internet service by SpaceX, had a remarkable month with several significant achievements. The company successfully conducted 11 launches, deploying 221 Ku-band satellites that added over 20 Tbps of fronthaul capacity. Additionally, 26 direct-to-cell satellites were launched, covering more than 8% of the requirement for the initial direct-to-cell service. Furthermore, Starlink set a new internal median latency record of 28ms yesterday, a performance that rivals many traditional ground-based internet services. This milestone highlights the efficiency and capability of Starlink's engineering and operations teams.
