1st PACAF unit connected to Starlink

Airman 1st Class Cody Moser, 18th Communications Squadron expeditionary communications technician, conducts a performance test for a Starlink terminal at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Jan. 10, 2023. “Connection to Starlink means we can bump up our end-users from 6 to 8 to potentially 20 to 30, which greatly affects efficiency in communication for deployed units and entire offices,” said Moser.
