Brightline recently announced plans to become the first passenger rail service to offer Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency broadband service. The addition of Starlink on board its train comprises part of Brightline’s digital transformation, focusing on a guest-first experience to improve traveler’s journeys. With Brightline’s partnership with Starlink, engineered and operated by SpaceX, Brightline seeks to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and sustainability paired with cutting-edge technology, all while providing better rail service around the world.

Starlink’s internet connectivity is available on Brightline’s fleet of trains servicing South Florida between Miami and West Palm Beach. The service will include the new five-train fleet service in Orlando this summer. The internet service is complimentary for all Brightline guests.

“Brightline will be the first train sets in the world to use the Starlink system. This really speaks to what we represent – an innovative passenger rail provider paving the way for high-speed rail in the US,” said Kevin T. McAuliffe, chief technology & digital innovation officer, Brightline. “Brightline is working with some of the best tech teams around the globe and our partnership with Starlink will elevate our brand to the stars.”

Already providing internet services to residences, businesses and transportation providers in the aviation and marine industries, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over and is made possible by the world’s largest constellation of high advanced satellites.
