SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 — Provide everyone with an autonomous electric vehicle, dig high-speed tunnels to beat traffic, conquer outer space and send a man to Mars, Elon Musk has no lack of wildly ambitious projects, among them Starlink, an internet access provider that will have its own network of satellites.
With a few months left to run before initial tests in the United States and Canada, Starlink has unveiled plans for the small receiver that will provide access to the service. The pyramid-shaped device is designed to be placed on high walls or rooftops, where it can easily capture a signal from space. All that is needed is for the receiver to have an unimpeded view of the sky for it to function without any further configuration.
