Gov. Ron DeSantis is working with Elon Musk to help restore internet connectivity to parts of Florida that saw widespread damage from Hurricane Ian.
DeSantis said state officials are using Musk’s Starlink satellites to provide sorely needed communications resources to both residents and emergency crews who’ve been knocked offline.
“They’re positioning the Starlink satellites to provide good coverage to Southwest Florida and other effected areas,” he said at a press conference in storm-ravaged Fort Myers Saturday afternoon.
DeSantis said 120 Starlink units are being positioned to boost internet access in regions hit hardest by the storm.
