Starlink Has Begun Delivering Promised Latency Cuts

In his January 12 SpaceX update, Elon Musk said the biggest goal for Starlink from a technical standpoint is to get the mean latency below 20 ms. He expanded by saying that given the speed of light, 8 ms is the absolute minimum latency for a satellite at 550 km. He believes they can optimize terrestrial and inter-satellite links, and minimize queueing delays and dropped packets, to recude the the rest of the time to below 10 ms. He predicted that eventually, “Starlink will be more responsive than ground Intenet in most cases.”

A month later, we saw early results of the latency-reduction effort. On February 12, Oleg Kutkov tested Starlink’s Rev 3 and Rev 4 terminals and, as shown below, he found no latency inflation as background upload and download speeds increased simultaneously when using the Rev 3 terminal. He compared the Rev 3 and 4 terminals and found that Rev 4 upload and download speeds were about 50% faster than Rev3. Average ping times were somewhat improved for Rev 4 (88 vs. 93 ms), but jitter was significantly lower (9.2 vs. 111.9 ms). You should also check out Dave Taht’s take on Oleg’s results. He concedes that Starlink has improved dramatically and outlines steps they could take to reduce latency further.

Our service has only improved over the past 1 1/2 years w/o cutting any trees, and as of recent zero outtages

Heres a chart that shows expected speeds in different areas of world

OneWeb Launch #19 is a success! We are delighted to report we have made contact with all 16 satellites launched today with SpaceX, including our demonstration satellite, JoeySat.

Thanks again to our colleagues at SpaceX and Airbus OneWeb Satellites for your work toward today's successful launch, and congratulations to Iridium who were ridesharing with us on today's mission.

Find out more about what today's mission means for us at OneWeb on our website at:

- Launch 19 brings the total OneWeb constellation to 634 satellites, increasing redundancy and resiliency as global coverage nears activation - Launch includes innovative JoeySat, a demonstration satellite previewing next-generation capabilities

Major European satellite companies merge to create Starlink competitor

Starlink may have a competitor soon as Europe’s big time satellite companies band together to provide global communications

This partnership includes companies like Airbus Defence and Space, Eutelsat, SES, and Thales Alenia Space to construct a satellite constellation to give secure communications for government services. The European Union (EU) is providing 2.4 billion Euro alongside contributions from private investments and the Eurpoean Space Agency.

With China planning their own constellation and OneWeb being under the United Kingdom, the country that made a public exit to the EU, the European companies decided they need their own cluster of satellites. Coordinating this is currently the struggle that this huge collaboration entails.

Back in 2018, SpaceX has released their first two satellites and it took them four more years to globally roll out Starlink’s network.

SpaceX has received a crucial approval from the FCC that can allow it to increase the speeds for its Starlink internet service.
