The FCC approves Starlink service for use on moving boats, planes, and autos for Internet access

SpaceX's Starlink Satellite Internet could soon be the solution if you're ready for connectivity while Travelling

The answer may soon be SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet if you're prepared for connectivity while Travelling. The US Federal Communications Commission approved the internet service provider's request to offer service on moving boats, planes, and cars on Thursday.

According to Tom Sullivan, director of the FCC's international bureau, the new authority should help SpaceX meet "the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether transferring a ship from Europe to the U.S., driving an RV across the country, Port or while on a domestic or International flight."

Starlink started selling Starlink for RVs earlier this year, but the service wasn't meant to be used while Travelling rather, it was meant for people going to places with slow or no broadband choices.

The latest certification expressly gives SpaceX permission to use Ku-band Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM) for commercial and consumer use in the 12 GHz range. The clearance was given by the FCC but with several restrictions.

First, SpaceX must acknowledge that there may be interference in the 12 GHz frequency from other operators, both present and future. Since SpaceX has unrestricted access to the band, it is unfortunate if other services impede the quality of its service. The FCC also mandates that SpaceX inform its clients that no expectation of interference protection exists.

Over the protests of a few other service providers, the FCC gave SpaceX its new authorization. Viasat, a supplier of satellite broadband, RS Access, a wireless network operator supported by Michael Dell, and DISH all filed petitions against it. While Viasat is a manufacturer of Ku-band equipment, a supplier of Ku-band satellite connection, and a licensee for the Ku-band ESIM, DISH and RS Access already operate in the 12 GHz range.

SpaceX and DISH and RS Access are engaged in a second, more extensive regulatory dispute regarding the availability of the 12 GHz band for both ground-based and space-based services. The FCC has not made a decision in that instance.
