Starlink

[shep]

I do a fair bit of very remote traveling and have been looking for something better than a sat phone. Have been playing with starlink and I think it’s a brilliant solution.

I cut the dish down to make it as small as possible and made a rough case a converted it to 12volt.
dish works fine when sitting ontop of the roll bar and punches through to roof pretty well.

now using wifi calling I have Comms anywhere.
just need to make a permanent mount for the dish.

really happy with how it’s turned out.

Which plan did you choose? Do you use it while you drive?

I am in Australia so plans are probably different.

my plan is mobile regional. To use it while driving I am supposed to turn on mobile priority which charges by MB used.

I have one for my RV, but I always thought the dish had to have a clear direct view of the sky. It can pick up the sats through the jeep top? Does it pickup through metal or just fiberglass?

I don’t think it would work through metal.

I like the idea of mounting it inside and, I have a soft top so that should be even better for acquiring a signal.
