FCC Approves Use Of Starlink On Moving Vehicles

The FCC has approved use of Starlink satellite terminals in moving vehicles, which will open up use of the SpaceX high speed Internet service on airplanes, moving freighters, RVs, and more. According to the FCC approval, SpaceX received "blanket authorization" for operating its Ku-band earth stations while in motion. That means SpaceX Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM) terminals, as well as Starlink's Portability feature, will allow cars, boats, trucks, RVs, and other devices to operate while those vehicles are moving.
