In a major development for internet connectivity, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has secured approval to launch its satellite internet service, Starlink, in Mongolia. The Mongolian government announced on Friday that it has granted two special licenses to SpaceX, allowing the company to operate as a service provider using its low-orbit satellites.

This move is set to benefit millions of internet users in Mongolia, who will now have access to high-speed internet connections through Starlink. With a vast network of over 3,500 satellites positioned in low-Earth orbit, Starlink has proven its capability to provide connectivity even in remote areas, Reuters reported.

By harnessing this technology, individuals and communities in Mongolia will be able to bridge the digital divide and tap into the potential of the internet for education, business, and communication purposes. The launch of Starlink’s satellite internet service in Mongolia marks another step towards global internet accessibility and underscores SpaceX‘s commitment to expanding connectivity worldwide.
