OREANDA-NEWS   The Starlink satellite network increased the volume of Internet traffic by 3.3 times in 2024. This is reported in the Cloudflare service report.

According to the company, Elon Musk's SpaceX Corporation service continues to be the leading provider of satellite Internet services in the world. The report says that the service continues to provide Internet connection services, including in remote regions.

Experts attributed Starlink's success to its entry into new markets and expansion of the coverage network. So, the service was launched in Paraguay, and traffic increased 900 times over the year. In addition, Starlink began working in civil and military aviation. At the same time, SpaceX began offering a portable Starlink Mini terminal for Internet access at a reduced price.

At the end of 2023, Cloudflare experts noted that traffic on the Starlink satellite network increased 3 times. In September 2023, SpaceX announced that it had surpassed the mark of 3 million users of the service, in November 2024 - 5 million.

In early December, the CEO of the Roscosmos state corporation, Yuri Borisov, promised to launch an analog of Starlink in Russia by 2030. "2030 is guaranteed. Maybe 2028-2029," Borisov said.
