Virgin Media is using Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology to provide mobile backhaul for some of the country’s most remote locations to accelerate its Shared Rural Network (SRN) rollout.
The operator has deployed the Starlink mobile backhaul solution to sites in the Scottish Highlands which are difficult or impossible to connect using standard technologies such as fibre or microwave connections.
