SpaceX gets licenses in Mongolia to offer high-speed internet

SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, has achieved two significant milestones in its quest to expand global internet connectivity through its Starlink satellite communications service. The Mongolian government has granted SpaceX licenses to operate as an internet service provider. This development will provide widespread access to high-speed internet for internet users across the country.

SpaceX’s Expansion into Mongolia

Granting of Licenses: The Mongolian government has issued two licenses to SpaceX, allowing the company to function as an internet service provider utilizing low-orbit satellites. This move paves the way for high-speed connectivity through Starlink to reach numerous internet users in Mongolia.

  • Enhanced Connectivity: Starlink’s rapidly expanding network of over 3,500 satellites in low-Earth orbit enables reliable connectivity, even in remote regions. While Mongolia already benefits from an extensive fiber optic cable network, the introduction of Starlink’s technology will further enhance connectivity in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Bridging the Digital Divide: Minister for Digital Development and Communications, Uchral Nyam-Osor, emphasizes that the collaboration with SpaceX will provide greater accessibility to underserved locations, improving connectivity and empowering communities.

SpaceX’s licensing in Mongolia marks another step forward in expanding global connectivity through the Starlink satellite network. The collaboration between the Mongolian government and SpaceX can significantly improve internet accessibility, particularly in remote regions. Millions of individuals in Mongolia are set to benefit from enhanced internet connectivity through Starlink, the satellite-based communication service operated by SpaceX.
