Starlink will provide internet access on ScotRail’s Far North Line, between Inverness, Thurso, and Wick, in the Scottish Highlands, through a partnership with Clarus Networks Group, making it the first railway operator in the world to use Starlink for this purpose. Starlink will also monitor train performance and safety systems. Clarus:
