Starlink operates in low Earth orbit, known as Low Earth Orbit. Low Earth Orbit is commonly used for people in rural areas or areas without internet access because of the absence of optical fiber. Technically, development of this network began in 2015, with the first prototype satellite launched into orbit in 2018. Since then, SpaceX has launched thousands of Starlink satellites and the total number of satellites launched into orbit is now 2,759.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ar-h\">How Starlink Satellite Internet Works<\/h3>\n<p>Elon Musk's Starlink program is able to supply internet services to remote areas where telecommunication infrastructure is still very limited, for example at sea, in remote areas far from the hustle and bustle of the city, or in regions where internet access is restricted by the government.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink is a satellite constellation that provides internet service access with data transport through light, much like optical fiber cables. This data transfer is facilitated through a network of small satellites, which communicate with data receivers on Earth that have been designed for that purpose.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX has about 3,000 satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the region of space at altitudes below 2,000 kilometers from the Earth's surface. These satellites share orbit with the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station (ISS).<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019. The company says it plans to expand the Starlink network to 12,000 satellites, with the possibility of continuing to expand the network up to 42,000 satellites.<\/p>\n<p>As with other satellite internet services, several components, both on the ground and in the sky, are required to provide internet access through Starlink. The following is the Starlink implementation topology<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"wp-image-41\" src=\"https:\/\/cyber415999623.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/whatsapp-image-2022-10-21-at-21.32.46-1.jpeg?w=739\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Implementation Topology<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>First, to connect devices such as phones and computers to the nearest satellite, a receiving device on the ground is needed. This receiving device autonomously aligns the receiver dish, a device resembling a TV satellite dish, with the available satellites. Only then can an internet connection be accessed and used.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ar-h\">Bandwidth Covered<\/h3>\n<p>According to the internet speed tracking site Ookla, which analyzed satellite internet performance during the fourth quarter of 2021, Starlink offers download speeds exceeding 100 Mbps in 15 different countries. In the US, the average download speed is around 105 Mbps. However, what is certain and stated on the Starlink website is that users can expect to see data speeds ranging from 50 to 150 megabits per second and latency of 20 to 40 milliseconds in most locations over the next few months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ar-h\">Locations Already Deployed<\/h3>\n<p>SpaceX has now launched 2,000 Starlink mini satellites into low Earth orbit. Meanwhile in Indonesia, Starlink operates through PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia (Telkomsat), which has been running since July. Starlink internet service was also used for domestic telecommunication purposes from 15 July to 31 August.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"wp-image-43\" src=\"https:\/\/cyber415999623.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/20220826160628-2022-08-26n_home_banner160627.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Telkomsat Indonesia<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It does not stop there: it turns out that Starlink internet was also used to support joint exercises (LATMA) of several countries, including Indonesia, the US, Japan, Singapore, the UK, France, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, South Korea, India, Canada, and Timor Leste.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Garuda Shield-16 joint exercise also used this Starlink satellite internet service. This is because Elon Musk's internet service has various advantages, including broadband service speeds equivalent to optical fiber, the ability to support 5G, and a fast installation delivery process.<\/p>\n<p>In East Kalimantan itself, the internet signal usually shows only one bar and sometimes disappears, according to Opforce platoon commander Second Lieutenant Czi Mashabi in a statement on 10 August. But with the Starlink internet service, the signal bars become full.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut after Starlink arrived, the signal we get here in Amborawang (East Kalimantan) is full. For communication, the internet is smooth and there are no problems at all,\u201d added Mashabi.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ar-h\">Advantages of Starlink satellite internet<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"wp-image-45\" src=\"https:\/\/cyber415999623.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/satelit-internet-spacex-starlink-2_169.jpeg?w=650\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption><strong><em>Starlink Satellite<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Starlink is not the first service to offer satellite internet access. However, Starlink has several advantages over its competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Starlink satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of 328 to 614 kilometers, much lower than its competitor HughesNet, which orbits the Earth at an altitude of 35,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n<p>Because it orbits the Earth at a relatively low altitude, Starlink can stream data about 10 times faster than HughesNet, one of Starlink's main competitors.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Starlink is only available in 40 countries, covering parts of the United States, Canada, central and southern Europe, parts of Latin America, and southern Australia. In other words, many areas still do not have good internet coverage, as Starlink intended at the outset.<\/p>\n<p>This may be partly due to the price of Starlink satellite internet, which is still relatively very expensive. The receiver equipment alone costs about $600 (equivalent to Rp9.2 million), while the monthly usage fee reaches $110 (equivalent to Rp1.7 million).<\/p>\n<p>Satellite internet is hardly needed in areas where network coverage is already good or satisfactory. The exception is for someone who frequently travels by boat or motorhome, a kind of camper van, and wants a fast and strong permanent internet connection in a fairly remote area.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ar-h\">Starlink Equipment<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"wp-image-46\" src=\"https:\/\/cyber415999623.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/whatsapp-image-2022-10-21-at-20.31.11.jpeg?w=750\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption><strong><em>Starlink Equipment<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Quoted from the official Starlink website, when subscribing to Starlink, users will receive two devices to access the internet service, namely a satellite signal-receiving antenna (Starlink Base) and a WiFi Router.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Group leader: Dicky Dzulhidayattulah ( 1101228095 )<br \/>Group members:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"has-normal-font-size\">\n<li>Affan Luthfi ( 1101228096 )<\/li>\n<li>Muhammad Ridho Lumbantoruan ( 1101228094 )<\/li>\n<li>Tika Nadhiah Barawasi ( 1101228093 )<\/li>\n<li>Nuraini Jamilatus Savitri ( 1101228097 )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ar-note\">Follow the latest news and activities of the Bachelor of Telecommunication Engineering Study Program on Instagram <strong>@bte_telu_jkt<\/strong> and the official website <strong>bte-jkt.telkomuniversity.ac.id<\/strong>.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apa Itu Internet Satelit Starlink?
