Starlink

Starlink, SpaceX’s plan for providing worldwide high-speed Internet access via a mega-constellation of as many as 42,000 individual satellites,

Starlink will deliver high speed broadband internet to locations globally where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.

Customers will be able to buy easy to setup starlink phased array transponders and pay for use.

Using ground relays with Starlink

Starlink is targeting service in the Northern U.S. and Canada in 2020, rapidly expanding to near global coverage of the populated world by 2021. Here is an external link to SpaceX's Starlink coverage map.

Starlink V2.0 satellite

Originally  meant from late 2022 SpaceX hoped to launch its New and much larger Starlink V2.0 satellites. These satellites will have up to 10x the bandwidth. The V2.0 satellites at 7m long x 3 meters (23 x 10 ft) weighing in at 1 and a quarter tons each and so need Starship to be able to launch them.  The V2 also includes the ability to transceive SMS messages directly from suitable T-mobile phones.

Due to delays in Starship development needed to launch V2,  The deployment of the large  V2 Starlink sats has been delayed to mid 2023. 

Starlink V2 Mini  satellite

Meanwhile SpaceX has launched the new "V2 mini Satellites" with 4x the bandwidth  using its Falcon 9 rocket as the V2 mini is smaller than the full V2 Starlink. They  have  more advanced phased array antennas  than the V1s and  weigh about 1,760 pounds (800 kilograms) three times the weight of the V1s.

These V2 minis use new Argon Hall thrusters that have 2.4 times the thrust of the thrusters used on the V1 satellites krypton Hall Thrusters. They allow for in space maneuvering. The minis also use the E-Band (60 GHz to 90 GHz wave lengths between 5 mm and 3.333 mm) for backcall, greatly improving the throughput.
