In 2023, satellite Internet from Elon Musk will be transmitted directly to smartphones

Elon Musk announced the launch of Starlink V2 Internet satellites next year – smartphones will be able to connect to them directly. Now, to use this satellite Internet, a special antenna terminal is required, which is an intermediate link between the satellite and the end device.

The head of Starlink emphasized that the Internet speed with such a connection will be from 2 to 4 Mbps – this is enough for text messages and voice calls, but not for more resource-intensive tasks. However, if there are not too many people in the cellular reception area, users will potentially be able to watch “even a little video.” Starlink V2 satellites will receive large antennas with a diameter of 5-6 meters – it is thanks to them that the Internet will be able to be transmitted without an antenna terminal.

Elon Musk added that Tesla cars will also be able to connect to satellites directly.
