Developed to provide fast internet access around the world, Starlink in more than 54 countries It has more than 1 million active users.

Changing the course of the Ukrainian war and for supporting Elon Musk’s search and rescue efforts following the February 6 earthquakes Giving exclusive access to Turkey When will Starlink come to Turkey?

First of all, let’s get this straight: what is the Starlink project?

Starlink travels around our planet through thousands of orbiting satellites. organized And fast An internet service that can provide internet.

The project is also similar to fiber optic cables running under seas and oceans. cannot be sabotaged And safe It aims to provide internet streaming.

from the earth At an altitude of 550 kilometers As long as satellites placed in close Earth orbit are not hit for reasons such as war, it seems that this goal will be achieved.

Within the scope of the project, so far more than 3580 satellite has been sent. Number of targeted satellites 12 thousand Over time, however, SpaceX will increase this number. up to 42 thousand It is claimed that he may decide to delete it.

When is Starlink coming to Turkey, how much will it cost?

Starlink, who was supposed to come to our country in 2022 years ago, but didn’t come, in 2024 It is expected to arrive in Turkey at full capacity.

Worldwide service of the service, in the countries served unlimited data And 50-500Mbps monthly within internet speed 200 to cling. Unless the price is changed, the service is paid monthly at the current exchange rate in Turkey. about 3800 Turkish lira can hold.

In addition, the toolkit fee of $499 averages at the current rate. 9500 Turkish Lira retention is also possible.

The project has advantages and disadvantages. What is the internet connection speed offered by the acclaimed Starlink?

Despite the claim to offer fast internet, Starlink cannot compete with fiber optic internet, which is twice as fast as itself. fiber optic internet up to 1000Mbps while it offers speed, starlink is currently the most up to 500Mbps it can come out.

If Starlink enters our market, Starlink will pay monthly fees if no price changes are made. With a fee of $200 It may not affect the market much.

Although the project covers the entire planet, the full capacity of the service is alone at the request and consent of the States and Starlink is not yet licensed for full capacity in Turkey.

If no cables are needed, how does Starlink work?​

The work logic of the project is not just about satellites and satellite launches. For satellites to be functional, there must be transceivers on Earth to pick up signals. Usually for this base stations And Wi-Fi We use similar technologies.

But interestingly, Starlink has base stations and technologies like Wi-Fi. it doesn’t need it. whole system, In tool kits for $499 easy to transport and install bowls thanks it works.

This dish is small compared to base stations takes up less space like mass production And makes transportation easier.

When you buy this tool box will be shipped and you can connect to the internet thanks to the terminal inside.

Let’s say he finally came to Turkey and gave the green light to the state. Where can we buy Starlink?

When Starlink arrives in Turkey, SpaceX will most likely stock their toolboxes. from their site or its extensions are offered for sale.

In other words, when it hits the market order that may be so And can be delivered to the address. By the way, it is currently possible to receive the toolkit by ordering abroad.

Now let’s take a look at the international legal debates sparked by the project.

Starlink remains a topic of discussion internationally for the following reasons:

• Some countries don’t want a foreign company to fly satellites over their own country as they see fit. Because Starlink is available all over the world. unauthorized the internet can offer.
• Some countries, such as the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, are uncomfortable with the possibility that a US-based private company could monitor their territory more closely. In other words, for espionage They worry about using it.
• Astronomers are talking about the possibility of sending too many satellites into space that are polluted and the possibility that the satellites could collide and create debris.

The most prominent of the concerns we’ve mentioned are the potential space accidents that could occur due to satellites.

Project into orbit 12 thousand or 42 thousand Since it will be completed with the transmission of satellites, it is very likely that these satellites will cover the sky above us.

If one or more of these satellites go out of control or have an accident, collide with other satellites and Domino Effect also has the potential to create As the number of satellites in space increases, the likelihood of chain satellite crashes and their debris falling on us increases.

Electric vehicles produced by Tesla, Elon Musk’s other company, are a regular occurrence malfunctions and ignition Considering this, the possibility of the same happening with the Starlink project is a topic that is constantly mentioned.
