Government justifies choosing Starlink to equip CP by the company’s technological maturity

▤ Summary

CP is testing Starlink connectivity on one Alfa Pendular train to improve onboard internet service. The pilot costs about 30,000 euros and will run for four to six months. The ministry says Starlink was chosen for its technological maturity and readiness for rail testing, while CP continues to evaluate other solutions, including European options. The project aims to assess how satellite connectivity can strengthen onboard service where mobile coverage is weak and improve the passenger experience.
