Connecting AI agents to the internet 24/7 is key to their effectiveness, and this is where satellite connectivity has a vital role to play, as it can provide coverage anywhere.
Starlink satellite internet, controlled by Elon Musk, already has 4.5 million subscribers globally, with a variety of firms, including the US military, using the service.
