Over 13,000 Starlink terminals operating in Ukraine

More than 13,000 Starlink terminals have been deployed and operating in Ukraine, which ensure uninterrupted communication for critical infrastructure facilities.

That’s according to Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, who spoke during the Second Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen, Ukrinform reports.

"We are trying to provide uninterrupted internet for everyone. There are now more than 13,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine. First of all, it’s the medical and educational facilities that receive them wherever there’s such need. We are sure that, despite everything that’s happening, we will have the internet available. We hope that we will always remain in touch," said the minister.

Starlink is a project by SpaceX, which provides access to broadband internet using a network of satellites. The speed is up to 1 Gbit/s for each subscriber, while the access is available on all continents.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, referring to the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, Starlink internet will appear on Ukrainian trains by the end of 2022.
