I finished the install and activation of the Starlink in motion internet. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation being constructed by SpaceX, the American aerospace company founded by Elon Musk. The constellation will consist of mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), working in combination with ground transceivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The satellites are mass-produced in a factory and then launched into space using SpaceX’s reusable Falcon 9 rocket. Once in space, the satellites use onboard propulsion to reach their designated orbits, where they form part of a large network (constellation) of satellites that are in constant communication with each other and ground stations on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starlink satellites are equipped with advanced technologies such as phased array antennas to form narrow, steerable high-speed internet beams. They also have optical inter-satellite links, which allows them to communicate with each other and pass data around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main advantages of the Starlink system over traditional satellite internet services is its use of low-Earth-orbit satellites, which should provide significantly lower latency and higher bandwidth than traditional satellite providers that use geostationary satellites. This makes Starlink more comparable to ground-based fiber optic and cable internet services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I haven’t tried it in motion yet, I tried it out on the boat tied tot he dock and was able to get about 160mb to 180mb per second download speeds. That is a bit faster that we typically got on the old Starlink mobile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That should work just fine. In fact it think it is faster that I am able to get at my house with XFinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here is the setup. The flat receiver “dish” mounted in a fixed location on the roof. The antenna has 2 receivers in it to help bridge the gap between different satellites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the new setup for year 2 using Starlink on board the yacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new “dish” receiver is about twice the size of the original one, but this one is low profile mounting in a fixed position on the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be headed out in a few days, at which point I will give an update of how well it works in motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
