Elon Musk just confirmed that SpaceX's next-generation Starlink V3 system will deliver an incredible ~100× more bandwidth than the current V2 system, and V3 satellites have already started launching Each V3 satellite is designed to deliver: • 1 Tbps of downlink capacity, roughly 10× V2 • 160 Gbps of uplink capacity, roughly 22× V2 With Starship deploying these massive satellites at scale, SpaceX is building toward an extraordinary increase in total network capacity, bringing faster internet and better connectivity to millions more people around the world

Starship deploying Starlink V3 satellites

BREAKING: SpaceX and 4iG sign a first-of-its-kind European partnership to expand @Starlink Mobile across four countries. The agreements were signed in Bastrop, Texas, by 4iG CEO Gellért Jászai and SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell. • Starlink Mobile will first launch in Hungary and Albania with apps and messaging, connecting people in remote areas • It connects directly to LTE-compatible phones without dedicated satellite equipment • Next-generation Starlink Mobile V2 will expand to Montenegro and North Macedonia, delivering high-speed broadband directly to phones • It will keep customers, public services and critical infrastructure connected during emergencies and terrestrial network outages • SpaceX and 4iG will also introduce Sovereign Solutions for secure government and national-security communications Jászai called it a “historic partnership,” while Shotwell said it will deliver “resilient direct-to-device connectivity” across Hungary and the Western Balkans.

Starship is going to radically transform Starlink A single Starship launch is designed to deploy up to 60 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites at once, adding more than 60 Tbps of downlink capacity to the network That is more than 20× the capacity added by a current Falcon 9 Starlink launch Each V3 satellite is designed for 1,024 Gbps of downlink capacity... over 10× a V2 satellite Falcon 9 built Starlink into the largest satellite constellation ever created Starship takes that network to an entirely different scale • More capacity per launch • Faster capacity deployment • Multi-gigabit Starlink speeds • Massive capacity growth around the world • Far more network infrastructure deployed with every mission This goes far beyond simply launching more satellites Starship gives SpaceX the ability to deploy internet infrastructure in orbit at industrial scale Flight 13 already completed the first V3 deployment test And Flight 14 is going to push that transition even further
