Starlink may offer massive satellite connectivity — a few terabytes per second of data throughput — in India, with a large amount of it already in place and can be provided immediately to customers once all the necessary approvals are obtained, people aware of the details told ET. The Starlink capacity is expected to be 80-90 times more than that of rivals Eutelsat OneWeb or Reliance Jio-SES, which could offer only 30-50 gigabits per second (Gbps), the people said. The Elon Musk-owned satellite communication company plans to set up three gateways — in Mumbai, Pune and Indore — and one point of presence in Mumbai to cater to the India market, they said. While gateways act as a bridge between a satellite and the terrestrial communication network, transmitting data between the two, the point of presence is also a key pillar for the network, though much smaller in size and scale.
