"The Federal Communications Commission today approved an application from The Boeing Company for a license to construct, deploy, and operate a satellite constellation. As detailed in its FCC application, Boeing plans to provide broadband and communications services for residential, commercial, institutional, governmental, and professional users in the United States and globally", the press release said on Wednesday.The project was proposed by Boeing in 2017 and involves placing 132 satellites into low Earth orbit at an altitude of 1,056 kilometres (656 miles) with an additional 15 satellites to be installed in "non geostationary orbit" at an altitude between 27,355 km (17,000 miles) and 44,221 km (27,600 miles), the release said.With 147 satellites in space, Boeing will be able to offer internet and communications services to residential consumers, government, and businesses in the US, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands while it's being built with plans to become global once it is complete, the release added.Boeing is not the first US company interested in exploring space technologies to offer a range of internet services. Elon Musk's Starlink project kicked off in February 2018. Its goal is also to ensure access to high-speed internet anywhere in the world with plans to launch close to 1,500 satellites into space.
