In 2025, SpaceX made significant strides in the expansion of its Starlink satellite internet, entering over 35 new markets. Today, the network reaches 155 countries and is available to 3.2 billion people, including the most remote regions of the planet. This was achieved through more than 120 Falcon 9 launches, adding 270 Tbps of bandwidth and increasing download speeds to 200 Mbps, with network latency at about 26 ms.
The Direct to Cell program enabled millions of users to connect through 27 mobile operators without the need for ground infrastructure. Simultaneously, Starship conducted two test launches of satellite simulators in preparation for the next generation of constellations. Thanks to these achievements, 4.6 million new users joined Starlink over the year, and the service now serves 9.2 million people worldwide. SpaceX continues to expand the network, promising even more speed and capabilities for users across the globe.
Latest updates revealed that Starlink is pushing forward with advancements in satellite technology, focusing on reducing latency further and increasing service reliability by launching new satellites equipped with cutting-edge technology. With plans to triple the number of satellites by the end of 2026, Starlink aims to offer unprecedented internet speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps and broader coverage, potentially reducing the impact of natural disruptions on network stability.
