Mongolia has granted two licences for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to operate as an internet service provider using low-orbit satellites. Millions of internet users in Mongolia will be able to access high-speed connection via Starlink, the satellite communications service operated by SpaceX, the government said in a statement.
Starlink has built a fast-growing network of more than 3,500 satellites in low-Earth orbit that can provide connectivity in remote areas.
“A network of fibre optic cables already provides wide-reaching access to high-speed internet across Mongolia but this technology will provide greater access to hard-to-reach areas,” said Minister for Digital Development and Communications U.Nyam-Osor.
