A new partnership to enhance satellite Internet connectivity has been unveiled by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
The United-states-based aerospace company SpaceX’s satellite-to-Internet service company “Starlink” has teamed up with Google Cloud to provide its enterprise customers with data, cloud services, and applications.
Organizations with large bases, such as the public sector, companies with network presence on the fringe, or those operating in rural or remote locations, are typically compelled to provide cloud services. Google Cloud intends to use its infrastructure to facilitate such activities for its business customers over Starlink’s high-speed broadband internet.
Under the agreement, SpaceX will deploy Starlink ground stations within Google data center premises. With more than 1,500 low-Earth orbit satellites, it can then transfer data securely and at lower speed via the Google Cloud.

Starlink makes it possible to provide Internet services to any corner of the world. Now with the collaboration with Google, it will no longer have hazzle in providing users with high-speed internet without any interruption.
Starlink is now internationally delivering the first beta service and will continue its expansion worldwide by 2021. A limited number of users per coverage region are currently accessible for Starlink. All subsequent orders will be executed on a first-come basis.
The tech giant said the service will be available to customers in the second half of 2021. According to a recent revenue report, Google Cloud Business accounts for 7% of total revenue.
Microsoft secured a similar deal with the Azure cloud computing program from SpaceX in October last year.
