Elon Musk’s satellites to be part of UK trial to get internet to remote areas

The Starlink technology uses more than 3,000 low Earth small orbit satellites to beam broadband signals

Elon Musk's satellite Starlink technology is to be part of a UK government trial to get better internet connectivity to remote parts of the country.

The technology, which uses more than 3,000 low Earth orbit small satellites to beam a broadband signal and is operated by the firm SpaceX, will initially be trialled at three remote locations - Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire Moors national park, Wasdale Head in the Lake District and two sites within Snowdonia national park, the government said.
