Starlink’s growing constellation of satellites is now robust enough to allow Starlink to begin offering global coverage plans.
While Starlink’s constellation covers most parts of the earth, it wasn’t until now that Starlink had enough of the newer satellites in orbit to feel confident they can officially offer global coverage around the earth including water and land, even in locations they don’t currently have ground stations.
The newer version 1.5 Starlink satellites have the satellite-to-satellite laser data links that are essential to provide coverage in areas that lack ground stations, and are what really enable global coverage.
Starlink now offers two global-focused plans, Global Maritime Service for sea-based users and Global Roaming Service for land-based users.
