Quick update: Starlink Mobile is continuing to provide service with Orange and Telefónica following the tragic train derailment in Spain. We've connected more than 36,000 people in the region so far. Thank you to @mintradigital for your continued support.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. Starlink Mobile connected nearly 2k messages with @orange_es and @Telefonica in the first few hours. Thank you to @mintradigital and Secretary González Martín for your support. 🇪🇸

Starlink
When @Starlink became a lifeline for a mother and her baby in rural Colombia. Karina, 24, was facing a high-risk pregnancy after previously losing a baby. Reaching town from her remote community could take two days on horseback. A visiting doctor brought a portable Starlink terminal and an ultrasound machine. Through Starlink, a specialist hundreds of kilometres away watched the scan live, guided the examination and identified the need for an immediate hospital transfer. Karina reached the hospital in time. Her baby was born safely, and she had no complications. Starlink brought specialist medical guidance into a home far from the city and helped a mother get urgent care. This is why Starlink matters. It connects people to help when lives are at stake. This lifesaving technology should be available in every part of the world.

Fue un verdadero honor respetado Embajador. 🛰️🇺🇸🇵🇦
Una conectividad confiable salva vidas. Me reuní con Wifredo Fernández y Juan David Vélez, de @Starlink y @SpaceX SI, para conversar sobre cómo la tecnología satelital estadounidense apoya la respuesta al terremoto, los servicios públicos y la educación en Panamá. Mediante una alianza público-privada, Starlink y el @StateDept colaboran para brindar conectividad confiable de alta velocidad a quienes más la necesitan.

Reliable connectivity saves lives. I met with Wifredo Fernández and Juan David Velez of @Starlink and @SpaceX SI to discuss how American satellite technology supports earthquake response, public services, and education in Panama. Through a public-private partnership, Starlink and the @StateDept are collaborating to support high speed reliable connectivity to those who need it most.
