Starlink, the leader in the satellite internet market, reached a 57% share in Brazil by the end of 2024, surpassing its main competitor, Hughes, which holds 31,1%.

Since entering the country in January 2022, the company registered meteoric growth, rising from 3,6% of hits in its first year to an impressive 42% in May 2024, consolidating its position as a reference in the sector.

This expansion reflects a strategic investment in rural and educational connectivity.

An impactful entry into the Brazilian market

Starlink's official entry into Brazil took place in 2022, after authorization from Anatel.

Elon Musk himself participated in the launch, which was also attended by government representatives, generating great expectations for the future of satellite internet in the country.

Connecting schools in isolated regions of the Amazon was one of the company's initial milestones, financed by R$3 billion earmarked for the expansion of rural connectivity through the 5G auction.

This measure not only brought internet to distant regions, but also attracted the attention of the agricultural sector, which recognized the potential of technology to modernize production.

Special promotion for rural producers

In its latest initiative, Starlink announced a 60% discount on the equipment needed to install the service.

This strategy seeks to facilitate access to technology for small and medium producers, allowing them to adopt advanced management and monitoring solutions.

With reduced costs, growers can access tools such as precision sensors, detailed weather forecasts and automated irrigation systems.

These innovations ensure greater productivity, optimization of resources and reduction of operating costs.

Direct benefits for agriculture

Agribusiness, which accounts for a significant portion of Brazilian exports, faces historical challenges related to the lack of connectivity.

The arrival of Starlink promises to change this scenario by providing high-speed internet even to the most isolated regions. Among the main benefits are:

  • Access to precision sensors and remote monitoring, optimizing the use of natural resources.
  • Real-time consultation of market data, weather forecasts and logistical information.
  • More efficient management of agricultural operations, with reduced costs and increased productivity.
  • Greater traceability of the production chain, ensuring greater safety and control in operations.

“Direct to cell” technology: connectivity for everyone

Another promising advancement of Starlink is the “direct to cell” satellite constellation, which allows conventional cell phones to connect directly to the internet via satellite.

This solution eliminates the need for terrestrial infrastructure and expands internet access to regions without traditional coverage.

Partnerships with carriers like T-Mobile are making this technology a global reality.

Simplified and affordable installation

Installing the Starlink service is intuitive and can be done by the user.

In three simple steps, any producer can connect their property to high-speed internet:

  1. Position the antenna in a suitable location.
  2. Connect the cables to the equipment.
  3. Configure the service via the Starlink app.

In just a few minutes, internet access is guaranteed, enabling definitive integration with the digital world.

With constant technological advances and affordable promotions, Starlink reaffirms its commitment to democratizing access to high-speed internet.

This initiative offers a unique opportunity for small and medium-sized rural producers, who can now compete on equal terms with large properties.

The 60% discount promotion is available for a limited time and represents a milestone in the modernization process of Brazilian agribusiness.

And you, what do you think of this transformation in the Brazilian countryside? Can this technology really level the playing field for all farmers? Leave your opinion in the comments!

Good evening, I have a Star Link antenna and the signal has been very bad in the last few days. I think the signal is already overloaded for anyone who complains.
