== Background Information ==
-Starlink is a satellite internet access service operated by the SpaceX company. As of March 2022 the company offers 2 different model of dish and router combinations. Users have the option of choosing between either a round dish, or a rectangular dish for use.
+Starlink is a satellite internet constellation developed and operated by SpaceX, a private space exploration company founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk. The Starlink network consists of thousands of small, low-cost satellites in low Earth orbit, which are designed to provide high-speed internet access to people around the world.
-== Tech Specs ==
+The Starlink satellites are placed in a relatively low orbit, which allows them to provide internet access with lower latency than traditional satellite internet services. Additionally, the large number of satellites in the constellation and their ability to communicate with each other via lasers allows for greater bandwidth and faster internet speeds.

+Starlink is intended to provide internet access to areas where traditional terrestrial infrastructure is lacking, including rural and remote areas, as well as to provide a backup internet option for businesses and consumers in case of network outages. The service is currently in beta testing, with service available in select areas of the United States, Canada, and other countries.
