Starlink Launches in Hungary: Boosts Connectivity for Businesses in Underserved Areas
October 22, 2024Starlink has officially launched its services in Hungary through its first authorized reseller, Vannet Telekommunikációs Kft.
Vannet Telekommunikációs Ltd is now providing satellite internet service to business customers, marking a significant step in enhancing connectivity in the region.
This introduction of Starlink as an internet provider aims to address connectivity issues in underserved areas of Hungary.
Many homes and businesses in Hungary currently rely on multiple internet providers due to limited reach from existing cases and repeater towers.
While Hungary's internet connection is generally considered good by European standards, there are still areas that require improvement.
Starlink offers fast internet with low latency, making it a valuable option for regions with poor connectivity and as a reliable backup.
Local business customers will benefit from customer support and product assistance provided in Hungarian.
The expansion of Starlink's availability is part of SpaceX's broader strategy, which includes potential services in South Korea and the Philippines.
Since its founding in 2015 and becoming operational in 2019, Starlink has expanded to serve 40 countries worldwide.
The service has proven beneficial in various contexts, including enhancing connectivity for communities affected by hurricanes in the United States.
Starlink's reliability is also significant for military operations, particularly for the Ukrainian military during conflicts.
Additionally, Starlink has been recognized for its impact on improving healthcare services in regions like Rwanda.
