Starlink Business plan has since introduced its Flat High Performance (HP) wedge-mount kit for improved stability, which can be used at sea, and on land, including for stationary remote sites, as well as vehicles and comms-on-the-move. In Episode 2 of our latest Starlink High Performance Assessment series, we break down the complete Flat HP kit and compare the HP and Flat HP antenna designs. Check out the latest video for insights on typical remote site applications, including the higher wind rating offered by the Flat High Performance antenna vs. the High Performance system, which we unboxed during Episode 1. If you missed the High Performance Kit unboxing, be sure to watch it here.
As an authorized Starlink reseller and integrator, Speedcast has been installing and incorporating the LEO service for applicable customer operations around the world. As of the time of this blog post, Starlink’s network consists of more than 3,000 mass-produced small satellites – about one-third of the total planned constellation of 12,000 spacecraft. Starlink promotes the LEO offering as a best effort service, making it an MIR (maximum information rate) solution with no guaranteed service. That’s why Speedcast has been helping customers with enterprise, humanitarian, cruise and ferry, energy, mining and other applications to incorporate Starlink into a fully managed service. A seamlessly integrated solution delivers the committed information rate (CIR) required for critical operations while taking advantage of the new LEO service’s flexibility, latency, and cost. Contact Speedcast today to learn more about service options and to discuss how Starlink could bring value to your remote operations for staff and crew and other MIR only needs, or as part of a fully integrated solution to deliver 100% uptime.
When Starlink first launched its maritime connectivity, the service was deployed using a dual antenna pole-mounted system, which displayed varying levels of movement as seen in Episode 9 of our previous Starlink Maritime Assessment series.
