Can you use the Internet in the wilderness?

Recently, SpaceX launched its latest Starlink Mini satellite network equipment. This equipment is designed for backpackers, digital nomads and camping enthusiasts and is called a "super base station."

Starlink Mini is characterized by being about the same size as a laptop, weighing only 1.1 kilograms, and can even be powered by a mobile power supply. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that this device will completely change the way people access the Internet in remote areas.

What is Starlink Mini?

Starlink Mini is an all-in-one small satellite network device that integrates a dish antenna and a Wi-Fi router. The casing is waterproof and dustproof (IP67), making it able to cope with various harsh environmental conditions.

Compared with traditional Starlink equipment, Starlink Mini is smaller and more power-saving, suitable for carrying around. The installation process is also very simple, taking less than 5 minutes to complete on average. Even in the wilderness, it can provide network speeds of more than 100Mbps. .

Flexible service plans

Starlink Mini hardware is priced at $599 and is available in two service plans: Regional and Mini Roam.

Regional Program

For $150 per month, you can enjoy unlimited portable data transfer within North America. If you need to use it on the move, you can choose to pay according to the traffic.

Mini Roam Solution

It’s only $50 per month, but usage is limited to 50GB in North America. This 50GB can be used in a fixed location (such as a camping site) or in a moving vehicle (such as a moving camper). If it exceeds 50GB, additional traffic will be billed separately.

Starlink’s global footprint

Currently, Starlink has provided services in 75 countries around the world, covering ships, planes, trucks and rural households.

The launch of Starlink Mini will undoubtedly further expand the user base, allowing more people to enjoy high-speed Internet connections in remote areas, especially in areas with weak network infrastructure. Starlink Mini will become a game-changing technology.
