The Greek telecommunications market is undergoing a major revolution in early 2021 by American business magnet, Elon Musk.
According to SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, “Fast satellite internet will be brought to everyone in Greece, and coverage of all Greek territories by SpaceX’s Starlink program satellites is expected to be completed in the first quarter. 2021. “
Officials at the SpaceX and Starlink projects are already in contact with both Greece’s National Telecommunications and Post Commission, as well as Greece’s digital government, to begin the process of obtaining the necessary licenses and replacing the old Internet providers.
This big change in Greek telecommunications is also important for scientists, engineers, computer programmers and many more professionals in Greece, as many new and promising job opportunities are coming to the country with SpaceX.
SpaceX, NASA’s largest partner and aircraft supplier, reports that “Starlink’s revenue from the Internet connection services market is expected to bring a major shock to the Greek telecommunications market, and yet we project that it will be slightly more expensive – about 20% more than current Internet providers Estimated to be more expensive – it will provide 100% coverage of the Greek territory and speed up to 150 Mbps. “
What does Internet Mbps Speed Mean?
The current internet speed in Greece is between 5–50 Mbps (megabits per second), the average internet speed per household in the country is 15 Mbps. This specially means that the MPBS. Internet users with such speeds can enjoy a variety of online activities up to 50 Mbps.
For example, playing games online games (10 Mbps), watching YouTube videos (5 Mbps), texting on another device on Facebook (5 Mbps) and downloading a movie (10 Mbps), all require a minimum of 30 Mbps, so browsers Working fast, pages loading fast, and all internet activities run smoothly.
SpaceX Satellite Internet 150 Mbps – The fastest in the telecommunications market – With extremely fast downloading and online gaming speeds, the highest quality 4K and 3D videos and many more, Greek Internet users can enjoy many online activities at once.
Given that most of the country’s time is ‘hostage’ to old infrastructure and therefore low speed, the impact of SpaceX’s latest internet technology in Athens will also be great for Greece’s communications and business operations.
The move by Elon Musk to bring Starlink to Greece will put the country at the top of the list of countries with the fastest internet in the world, next to South Korea (which ranks first), followed by Norway, Singapore and Canada, while the US has 11.M Status, UK14M, And Australia Australia 43R.D. Status. Greece currently has 54M Getting on the list of countries with the fastest internet in the world.
SpaceX will provide satellite dishes to users in Greece – Just like satellite TV – Which will allow them to connect to Starlink satellites in space.
Then in turn, Starlink satellites will connect to Greece’s ground station, supplying the entire country with the Internet. These ground stations, which are technically the backbone of the global Internet and can be found in many countries around the world, are expected to be located either in Nemia or in Thermopyla, Greece.
There are currently more than 800 Starlink satellites in orbit, all serving the US and Canada, along with many European countries, including Greece, which will join SpaceX’s satellite internet in 2021.
More specifically, Starlink is a satellite system built by SpaceX to provide satellite Internet and high speed broadband services. The entire SpaceX system consists of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit, operating in conjunction with ground transceivers (ground stations).
Starlink’s development began in 2015, with the first two test satellites launching into orbit in February 2018.
The second pair of test satellites was launched into space in 2019, and the first giant satellite was launched in May 2019, where 60 operating satellites were launched into orbit at the same time. The planning, design and development of the Starlink project by SpaceX has taken almost 10 years and cost more than 10 10 billion.
Since the beginning of 2020, SpaceX has been able to send 60 satellites into space at a time, and plans to build a total of 1,584 satellites to provide global Internet by the end of 2022.
In 2020, Elstat reported that eight out of ten households in Greece (.40..4%) could use the Internet, a significant increase since 2010, with 73 73.3% of households using the Internet.
This number is expected to grow by 2025 and cover most remote villages and rural areas in Greece.
It has also been reported that the Greek household has at least two laptops / desktop devices and three to four smartphones. These numbers place Greece in the top 50 countries with the most internet biggest access and the top 30 countries with the most internet-connective devices per household.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, is one of the many big moguls who decided to launch new projects in Greece in 2020 in other large corporations, excluding Micro .ft and Pfizer.
SpaceX claims that Greece’s Starlink satellite Internet will achieve the highest possible connection speeds, even in Atika, at three times the maximum Internet speeds provided by existing providers in many parts of Greece.
The Starlink team is currently preparing to build the necessary infrastructure in Greece, as well as fiber optics and ground satellite receiver stations, with plans to launch new satellite internet in the country by April 2021.
