Starlink Shines in Europe

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Starlink in the European satellite market as analyzed by Luke Kehoe from Ookla.

According to Luke Kehoe, Industry Analyst Europe at Ookla, while Europe may not represent the largest market for satellite solutions, low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations have emerged as an important part of the connectivity toolkit in the region. And with a network of more than 7,000 satellites worldwide, SpaceX’s Starlink has taken advantage of this, securing a leading position in the LEO market, both in Europe and globally.
