These 5G satellites of Elon Musk were launched by Falcon-9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on April 15 this year. Satelliot is a company based in Barcelona that manufactures small artificial satellites. According to the company, they want to strengthen the Internet of Things (IoT) through this satellite.
The satellites were developed by the satellite company (Sateliot). These satellites are called Groundbreakers. These satellites weigh only 10 kg. Their official name is satellite-0. 250 such 5G satellites have been launched in low Earth orbit, so that they can connect directly to the towers located on the ground, with the sole aim of providing better 5G internet service around the world.
The satellite company said in its statement that “you do not have to change SIM card and mobile operator to get satellite service. Each 5G satellite will orbit the Earth once in 90 minutes. That is, the coverage area is going to increase threefold. This new satellite will greatly facilitate the movement of vehicles using GPS.”
There are many types of internet satellites around the world like SpaceX's Starlink. The European Union has its own. China has its internet satellite. In addition, Amazon is going to set up its satellite network called Project Kuiper next year. But it remains to be seen how much Elon Musk's new move in 5G internet technology can change.
