Starlink’s satellite internet system leverages a network of LEO satellites, significantly reducing latency compared to traditional geostationary satellite providers. Unlike conventional satellite internet, which can have latencies of 600ms or more, Starlink achieves latency as low as 20-40ms, making it suitable for gaming, video conferencing, and real-time applications. The system operates by transmitting data between ground stations and satellites, dynamically routing signals to maintain consistent connectivity. With download speeds ranging from 50 Mbps to over 250 Mbps, Starlink is revolutionizing global internet accessibility.
