Starlink Mobile teases ‘5G speeds from space with 100x the data density’ — V2 satellites are being sent into orbit to power the upgrade

Starlink Mobile is gearing up to deliver "5G speeds from space" with the launch of V2 satellites by SpaceX, promising 100 times the data density of the current V1 generation. This upgrade will significantly enhance the Starlink Mobile service, offering improved connectivity for data, voice, and messaging across multiple countries. The V2 satellites aim to provide seamless transition between satellite and terrestrial networks, potentially reaching peak speeds of 150 Mbps per user. SpaceX plans to deploy up to 15,000 new satellites to support its vision of providing 5G connectivity from space, with early 2027 targeted for initial V2 service testing.
