☆ SpaceX no longer taking losses to produce Starlink satellite antennas, a key step to improving profitability
  + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
PARIS – Elon Musk's SpaceX is no longer absorbing the cost of the Starlink antennas that it sells with its satellite internet service, a company executive said on Wednesday, a key step to the company improving its profitability. "We were subsidizing terminals but we've been iterating on our terminal production so much that we're no longer subsidizing terminals, which is a good place to be," Jonathan Hofeller, SpaceX vice president of Starlink and commercial sales, said during a panel at the World Satellite Business Week conference. SpaceX sells consumer Starlink antennas, also known as user terminals, for $599 each. For more demanding Starlink customers – such as mobile, maritime, or aviation users – SpaceX sells antennas with its service in a range from $2,500 to $150,000 each. When SpaceX first began selling its Starlink service, company leadership said the terminals cost about $3,000 each to manufacture.

☆ Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to test Starlink and T-Mobile's cell phone service this year in an attempt to eliminate dead zones worldwide, exec says

Starlink and T-Mobile will test their service in 2023, SpaceX exec Jonathan Hofeller said, per CNBC. This could soon bring cellular connectivity to Americans in areas with no cell service. Hofeller didn't give a specific date for testing the cell service in 2023, according to the report. SpaceX and T-Mobile announced in August they were teaming up to provide mobile users phone service via Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit. He also confirmed Tesla vehicles would have this feature in the future so they could connect directly to Starlink satellites for emergency calls and texts.
☆ Amazon targets 2024 launch of first Kuiper internet satellites

Amazon's satellite internet unit, Project Kuiper, will begin mass-producing the satellites later this year, the company said. The 2024 deployment target would keep Amazon on track to fulfill a regulatory mandate to launch half its entire Kuiper network of 3,236 satellites by 2026. Amazon plans to launch a pair of prototype satellites early this year aboard a new rocket from the Boeing-Lockheed joint venture United Launch Alliance. The 2024 launch, carrying the initial production satellites, is expected to be the first of many more in a swift deployment campaign using rockets Amazon procured in 2021 and 2022. The company on Tuesday also revealed a slate of three different terminals, or antennas, that will connect customers with its Kuiper satellites in orbit.
☆ SpaceX says it will test Starlink's satellite-to-cell service with T-Mobile this year

WASHINGTON — SpaceX plans to begin testing its Starlink satellite-to-cell service with T-Mobile this year, an executive of Elon Musk's company said on Monday. SpaceX and T-Mobile announced their partnership in August, vowing to "end mobile dead zones." SpaceX has launched about 4,000 Starlink satellites to date, and recently rolled out its more powerful "V2 Mini" satellites, which it says have quadruple the capacity of the previous generation. Hofeller said Monday that SpaceX is manufacturing six satellites per day at its facility near Seattle and believes the company is no longer manufacturing its previous 1.5 series of Starlink satellites. SpaceX has "well over" 1 million Starlink users, Hofeller said, having passed that milestone in December.
☆ Elon Musk's Starlink gets FCC green light to beam broadband into moving cars, planes, boats
  + stars: | 2022-07-01 | by ( Isobel Asher Hamilton | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Starlink is now allowed to beam broadband into moving vehicles, the FCC said Thursday. This means it will be possible to use Starlink in moving cars, planes, and boats. Starlink already has deals to provide in-flight WiFi to at least two airlines. Starlink uses a network of satellites in low orbit to beam down broadband to users' satellite dishes, called terminals. At launch the company said the internet service could not be used while the RV was in motion.
