High-speed internet for India’s remotest corners by 2020 - Bangalore Mirror -

Astrome Technologies plans to launch 150 satellites for the purpose. Once the project is up and ready, users can install antennas and avail high-speed internet services anywhere, said Prasad HL Bhat


Post-2020, you can go on a trek to the remotest corner of India (or the world), set up an antenna and avail high-speed internet. This will be a reality with a one-year-old start-up from the Indian Institute of Science, Astrome Technologies, launching a constellation of 150 satellites to provide high-speed internet services from space by 2020.

50Mbps to 400Mbps. Not bad. The team looks genuine though. Has a lot of people from IISC,ISRO.

Satellite internet costs a lot and the latency is terrible. So will be the throughput.

From what I know wholesale satellite transit is terribly expensive. So maybe they may have to send their own satellites. And we all know how badly NBN is panning out for Australia.
