BREAKING: FCC grants SpaceX approval to test Starlink-to-Starlink communications in orbit.




This will allow SpaceX to test how Starlink satellites can communicate directly with each other using specific radio frequencies.

• The biggest benefit is that it could help Starlink become more independent of ground stations.

• Faster routing of internet traffic through space

• Lower latency on long-distance connections

• Better coverage over oceans, polar regions, and remote areas

• More resilient communications during disasters or ground station outages

• Stronger military, aviation, maritime, and emergency communications capabilities

A step toward a fully space-based global communications network.
