Starlink satellite internet will be available on trains by the end of 2022.

As Ukrinform reported, this was announced by the head of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine Yuriy Shchyhol in an interview with Liga.Tech.

According to him, Ukrzaliznytsia has already tested the pilot project of installing Starlink on trains.

According to Shchigol, after the test, Ukrainian specialists contacted Starlink technicians and showed them how it works. The head of the State Special Communications Service said, “They were even surprised that we could use Starlink in this way. According to its specifications, it should not run at these speeds. But it works and it serves.”

As Ukrinform reported, more than 3,000 mobile operator base stations in Ukraine were completely or partially shut down due to the war, and more than 20% of the telecommunications infrastructure was damaged or destroyed.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk helped provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and satellite Internet access. It also transferred the Tesla Powerwall station to Ukraine.

On June 9, Starlink Ukraine obtained operator license.
