Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, is set to launch an internet connection service in Bangladesh to connect geographically isolated (hard to reach) or disaster-affected populations with uninterrupted high-speed Internet.
Starlink provided two devices for a three-month test run, State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak told Dhaka Tribune after the meeting.
One of the devices will be installed on a bus while another device will be installed on a remote island in Bangladesh to test the compatibility of this internet service.
Courtesy Two officials of SpaceX – Joel Meredith, manager for global government affairs at SpaceX, and Parnil Urdhwareshe, manager for global licensing and activation – met the top officials of the ICT Division on Wednesday at the ICT tower.
Starlink is famous for its satellite internet operated by American aerospace company SpaceX, providing satellite internet access coverage to over 60 countries.
When the trial run is completed, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) will fix the price with Starlink.
The Star Link team will also participate in the startup function on Saturday in Dhaka.
