A Deep Dive on Starlink
Starlink is the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using low earth orbit (LEO) to deliver broadband internet, capable of supporting streaming, video calls, and other high data rate applications.
From merchant vessels to sport fishing to premium yachts, users can engage in activities that historically have not been possible with satellite internet. Leveraging advanced satellites and hardware, Starlink’s internet allows users to connect from even the most remote areas of the world with up to 350 Mbps download and latency of 20-40ms, enabling a high performance throughout.
Starlink’s Flat High-Performance model is a perfect fit for the maritime industry. Designed for mobile applications and challenging environments, Starlink’s flat high-performance antenna allows for consistent connectivity while on the go. With a wide field of view and enhanced GPS capabilities, it can connect to more satellites while in motion.
The hardware is designed for permanent installation and is more resilient to extreme environments. Starlink’s hardware bears a small footprint and requires minimal above deck space.
