On April 1, the Philippine Department of trade and industry (DTI) said on Thursday that SpaceX, a space exploration technology company of American billionaire Elon Musk, would launch star chain Satellite Internet services in the Philippines, which would make the Philippines the first country in Southeast Asia to host star chain Internet services p> < p > < / P > < p > Ramon Lopez, Philippine Minister of trade and industry, said he had recently met with Rebecca hunter and Ryan goodnight, senior executives of SpaceX, Edgardo cabarios, Deputy Commissioner of the Philippine International Communications Commission (NTC), and Lamon Garcia Jr., executive chairman of DFNN, Discuss the introduction of star chain into the Philippines p> < p > Lopez revealed that SpaceX's business license application is being processed, and the company is looking for a location for its gateway. The company is setting up a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Philippines with the goal of deploying three gateways in the first phase of the launch. However, Lopez did not specify the timetable for the launch of star chain Internet services or the investment figures of SpaceX p> < p > the Ministry of trade and industry of the Philippines issued a statement saying: "by the middle of 2021, the satellite chain network has included more than 1600 satellites. It will eventually consist of thousands of small satellites operating in low earth orbit, which communicate with designated ground transceivers." p> < p > Lopez said that the launch of star chain will make the country's broadband faster, better connection, larger capacity of telecom services and cheaper rates. "Star chain will expand and supplement the existing broadband capacity. This will further expand the capacity of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and promote the development of online learning, e-commerce and financial technology," he said p> < p > Edward Jay Enriquez, a 21-year-old college student from Badan Samar, hopes that the introduction of star chain will make the Internet in the Philippines easier to access and affordable p> < p > he said: "When the novel coronavirus pneumonia strikes, all aspects of our education are transferred to the Internet. I can hardly keep up with it. Because there is no stable Internet in my place to live. The subscription of mobile data packages is too expensive. The star chain entry into Philippines is a welcome development, especially for those of us who live nearby. I hope we can finally get an Internet with good quality and low cost. Service provider. " p> < p > SpaceX is one of the few companies to support high-speed Internet services through low earth orbit satellite networks. Star link network is designed to provide Internet access services in remote areas or in case of communication interruption during natural disasters. Such satellite internet systems transmit signals from the atmosphere to antenna receivers on the ground p> < p > according to the data of SpaceX, the data transmission speed of the satellite link ranges from 100Mbps to 200Mbps. This high-speed connection was previously impossible to achieve through the traditional Satellite Internet. SpaceX is a leader in this technology. Since the end of 2020, the company has signed up more than 100000 users worldwide for the star chain beta. The countries where star chain provides Internet access services include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico p> < p > Amazon is also developing its own satellite Internet, called Kuiper systems, but has not put any satellites into orbit.
