SpaceX has unveiled a website for its worldwide high-speed, low-latency, in-flight internet, Starlink Aviation. On the website, the company is encouraging sign-ups now for delivery in 2023.

The service is expected to cost between $12,500 and $25,000 a month. There is a one-time hardware cost of $150,000.

According to the website, Starlink can deliver up to 350 Mbps to each plane. The company says this will allow all passengers to stream at the same time. In addition, the website says Starlink has latency as low as 20 ms.

Installation for Starlink is simple and can be done during routine maintenance checks. The Starlink Aviation kit includes two wireless access points, a power supply, harnesses, and the low-profile Aero Terminal with an electronically steered phased array antenna.

All plans include unlimited data and there will be no long-term contracts, according to the website.
