Google Cloud, SpaceX's Starlink to deliver connectivity together

Google Cloud and SpaceX have entered a new partnership to deliver data, cloud services and applications to customers at the network edge, leveraging Starlink’s ability to provide broadband internet around the world and Google Cloud’s infrastructure. 

Under this partnership, SpaceX will begin to locate Starlink ground stations within Google data centre properties, enabling the secure, low-latency, and reliable delivery of data from more than 1,500 Starlink satellites launched to orbit already to locations at the network edge via Google Cloud. Google Cloud's private network will support the delivery of Starlink’s global satellite internet service, enabling the delivery of critical enterprise applications to virtually any location. 

This new functionality, delivered by Google Cloud and Starlink to enterprise customers, is expected to become available in the second half.
