Starlink has provided fast and reliable Internet to thousands of individuals and businesses in areas where connectivity was sparse or non-existent.
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite Internet service has been a game-changer for many people and businesses in rural South Africa.due to not having the required telecoms and spectrum licences, thousands of South Africans have been using its roaming service since early 2023.
“Numerous small businesses are online for the first time, thriving due to their expanded exposure,” IcasaSePush said. “Where children previously relied on postal education or travelled up to 200km daily to school, Starlink has enabled online schooling,” the company explained. IcasaSePush also provided PinkDrive with a Starlink kit, allowing the charity organisation to offer improved mobile cancer screenings in remote areas.
Other Starlink customers on farms include an elderly couple in a remote KwaZulu-Natal location who previously had no way to communicate with emergency services or their family.
