In today’s era, internet has become an important part of everyone’s life. Be it work or studies, entertainment or banking – everything rests on the Internet. People use different mobile data or broadband plans to meet this need.

But now a new name has been added to the Internet world – satellite internet. You may have heard its name, but do you know what it is and how is it different from other internet services?

Come, let us understand in easy language what satellite is the internet, how it works and how long can India come.

What is satellite internet?
As is clear by the name itself, the satellite transports the internet signal directly to the user from the satellite present in the internet space. It needs neither a fiber cable nor a mobile tower.

The satellite requires a satellite dish and a special router for the Internet, which holds the signal and leads to your device.

Currently satellite internet has not started in India. But companies like Allen Musk’s company Starlink, Onweeb and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are preparing to launch it in India soon.

Starlink has started this service in Bangladesh, where its monthly expenditure is around ₹ 4,200 and a one -time dish kit is priced at around ₹ 33,000.

The price of satellite dish and router can range from ₹ 40,000 to ₹ 1 lakh.
