Abstract
Yugma P Prem
This paper explores the innovative architecture of Starlink's satellite constellation, a network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites designed to provide global internet access. Utilizing advanced communication technologies such as laser inter-satellite links and phased-array antennas, Starlink offers high-speed, low-latency connectivity, even in remote and underserved areas. The system's dynamic routing capabilities and efficient deployment strategies address challenges like orbital congestion and signal interference. Results demonstrate the potential for Starlink to revolutionize digital inclusion by bridging the global connectivity gap. Future directions include scaling the network, integrating advanced AI algorithms for traffic optimization, and enhancing sustainability in satellite operations.
