Elon Musk's giant seeks to revolutionize connectivity in remote areas of Brazil with more satellites in orbit
A Starlink, a company owned by the renowned billionaire Elon Musk, is in the process of significantly expanding its operations in Brazil, with a bold plan to launch 7,5 thousand new satellites. This strategic move aims to improve the internet supply in hard-to-reach regions, such as rural and isolated areas. The expansion request will be analyzed by National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) next day February 13. The counselor and rapporteur of the process, Alexandre Freire, has already published its initial report, highlighting that the request was formalized by Starlink in December 2023.
Expansion and innovative technology
Currently, the Starlink count with 6.350 satellites in orbit, according to data released by Musk in September. The company operates “non-geostationary” or “low-orbit” satellites, which stand out for providing high-speed internet in places with limited infrastructure. The operation of these satellites in Brazil requires authorization from Anatel, permission that Starlink already has for its activities in the country, according to g1.
Competition and new agreements
Amid Starlink's planned expansion, telebrás signed an agreement with the SpaceSail, a Chinese competitor of Musk's company. This agreement was signed in November, during the visit of the Chinese president Xi Jinping to Brazil, and foresees cooperation between the two companies. However, SpaceSail still needs to complete regulatory procedures, including opening a CNPJ and requesting authorization from Anatel, to begin its operations in Brazil.

- Melitta, an internationally recognized company in the coffee market, has a job opening for an RMP Operator!
- How about taking a free distance learning course at the Ministry of Justice? The Ministry joins forces with a federal university to call for an online Specialization in Intelligence and Innovation
According to the Minister of Communications, Juscelino Filho, SpaceSail already has 40 satellites in orbit and has ambitious plans to launch more 648 satellites in the next 14 months. The company's goal is to have 15 satellites orbiting the planet by 2030., which represents a significant expansion in the satellite market.
Global connectivity and Brazil's role in the space race
Therefore, the space race to offer connectivity around the world is heating up, and Brazil finds itself at the center of this dispute, with the Anatel playing a crucial role in the authorization and regulation of these operations. So, stay tuned for the next steps in this process and how it may impact connectivity in our country.
How much does it cost to install this internet instalink?
R$1000 for the antenna + around R$180 am
Without taxes, with them it is around 380 per month. We have it here on the site. The antenna promotion of 1000 dinars is now 1500 without taxes, with the tax it is almost 2100.
What will help the “poor” and Mula da Silva, WITH OUR MONEY. SPACEX is a private company. It wants profit, and Mula da Silva’s government doesn’t care about profit. If it goes bankrupt, like the post office went bankrupt, the government will stop building a hospital to cover the hole they created in the Post Office’s accounting. Several government companies are going bankrupt. Who do you think will pay to cover the FINANCIAL HOLE of government companies? IT’S US
EXACTLY THAT, my dear INTELLIGENT PATRIOT companion!!! CONGRATULATIONS for not being part of this GANG that is sinking our nation every day!!!
The value is not 380 but 180
180 and the fixed plan, and in the end it ends up being 250 due to taxes, now the mobile plan is 578 per month with government taxes
But I got 10% or is the speed real?
I live in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, literally in the middle of the woods in the mountains and at the moment in the middle of an intense storm with 45Mbps download and 13 Mbps upload. I normally get 240 and 32 which is excellent, better than my mother's cable internet who lives in the city.
What sucks are the taxes charged... And China's internet isn't even ready yet. Xddd
And who will trust using internet from China? I won't! I'll stick with Starlink.
When will Xing King really be available? 2030! And will it work? How much will it cost? That old **** Lula sucks up to ****s whenever he can, and the people are the ones who get screwed!
Here in the state of Pará the antenna costs R$2.000,00 and the monthly fee is R$200,00.
I paid 2024 for the antenna in January 3200,00 and I'm paying 260,00 monthly!
Does it work well? It doesn't have any failures like those pump operators that we have and charge a lot.
Those who live on farms, except in my region, in the interior of RGS, when there are thunderstorms or storms, the air goes out. That's not all they say.
This STARLINK internet system doesn't work well in your area???
Yes, heavy clouds block the signal from passing through.
It's like a cable TV antenna
I live in the mountainous region of RJ and at this moment there is a frightening storm and I still have internet.
Here in the state of Pará the antenna costs R$2.000,00 and the monthly fee is R$200,00.
I would like to know the news about this link
