This number of Starlink terminals is the largest in Europe. This is despite the fact that satellite Internet is currently used by institutions and essential services.
Yes, currently, priority is given to Starlink usage:
Lifeguard,
fireman,
doctors,
hospitals,
schools,
energy companies and other institutions that need a high quality and stable Internet connection to operate in harsh conditions.
Unusual test showed the durability of Starlink
SpaceX is known to position Starlink as a fixed system for the internet. This means that the equipment should be installed in a location with the best coverage and signal availability – using the app to make the necessary measurements.
Recently, the company released a version of equipment for mobile homes, but an important condition for the operation of the system remains the integrity of the equipment.
How was Starlink tested while driving?
The Ministry of Digital and Digital Affairs explained how they controlled the operation of Starlink in a car traveling at 130 km per hour. What’s more, the department notes that the metrics show only 7% packet loss. In other words, we can say that Starlink Internet works with 93% stability while on the go.
Thanks to Starlink terminals, the Internet must appear on the railway! This means you can watch videos, listen to music and stay in touch with your loved ones on the train. – said the Ministry of Statistics.
It’s worth noting that the Ministry of Digital team testing Starlink on the go used a car tire to stabilize the antenna and it came to fruition.
In practice, it turned out that the stability of satellite equipment in motion is sufficient for comfortable viewing of videos on YouTube and work on the Internet.

It was previously reported that SpaceX is working on an upgrade and a special version of the equipment that will operate while the vehicle is in motion, but nothing was known about it so far. Probably, in the harsh conditions of the war, Ukraine has become a real test ground for SpaceX, where you can check the operation of the Starlink satellite Internet in various conditions.
