BREAKING: Starlink powered Wi-Fi at Japan’s 8,000-person Scout Jamboree without overwhelming the host town’s networks. 🇯🇵
With weak mobile coverage, IIJ Engineering deployed 14 Starlink terminals across 25 locations, supporting participants, organizers and cashless payments.
Starlink carried nearly 2 TB of data over seven days.
Participants used airplane mode + Wi-Fi, keeping traffic off local mobile networks. Residents’ connections remained unaffected.
Starlink kept a huge gathering connected from space while helping protect the local community’s internet.
