starlink sri lanka launch brings high speed internet
Sri Lanka has been officially granted access to Elon Musk-led revolutionary satellite internet technology, as another country in the rising list. On Wednesday, the island country made a big step towards its digital transformation as Starlink started to work in the country and close the connectivity gaps in the country.
The landing makes Sri Lanka the third country in South Asia to adopt satellite-based internet Starlink solutions. The strategic growth indicates that the company is keen on improving digital infrastructure in the Indian Ocean region. The entry of Starlink Sri Lanka comes at a time when the government is undertaking an overall process of digitization in order to enhance connectivity to remote locations.
Such growth is perceived by local telecommunications experts as a game-changer in the web world of Sri Lanka. The nation has always faced connectivity problems in the mountainous areas and the rural districts, as the traditional fiber optic infrastructure is still low or not available there.
Starlink Sri Lanka is a service provider based on an innovative constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites that provide internet services faster as compared to traditional broadband facilities. The technology does not require large ground infrastructure, and this is a great advantage in areas with diverse geographical features like Sri Lanka.
The satellite internet service will ensure delivery of high-speed internet to areas where the quality of internet is not adequately maintained. Rural settlements that have been using low-quality internet connections and have been experiencing failures can have equal connection just like those settlements in the urban society. This technological advance would have a big influence on the field of education, healthcare, and other business activities of the island.
