SpaceX launch JCSAT-18/Kacific1 for Internet in the South Pacific
A Singapore-based startup company and a broadband provider in Japan have sent a new satellite into space to reach internet connectivity in the remote islands of the South Pacific. The satellite was launched on Monday by Elon Musk's SpaceX company's Falcon 9 rocket. Built by Boeing, the satellite will make the Internet easier in 25 countries in the South Pacific. The heavyweight JCSAT-18/Kacific1 satellite is equipped with 56 high-power insurance. Through this, mobile and broadband internet services will be provided from space to remote areas. This is a joint venture between Singapore Pacific Broadband Satellite and Japanese operator Sky Perfect JSAT.
According to CNN's report, the people of the thousands of islands between the south coast of Asia and Australia, deprived of digital access, will benefit from this satellite.
Most Internet providers have long thought that there are not too many people in these areas; Those who do not need the Internet. But Singapore's startup company, Pacific, decided to invest in satellite markets in the region. They think people here are hungry for the Internet.
Due to the geographical complexity of the Asia Pacific region, accessing the Internet on isolated islands is the toughest task. Broadband is usually provided through copper or fiber optic cables. Which went through the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. This is expensive because most internet service providers want to work in urban areas.
In the South Pacific, 80 percent of the population lives in rural areas. For them, satellite-based internet will be a very expensive matter. Its quality is not so good. But without it there is no better way to tie them to the internet.
