- Short introduction video on the Starlink Mini. Extremely compact satellite data solution that really sells itself. When you need data now and there is no local infrastructure Starlink delivers.

I have Starlink out here in Maine. Had it over a year and I use it for redundancy for my spectrum which I use for primary data source. I’m a merchant mariner and when I go to work I want to make sure my wife is connected it here because we lose power a lot in central maine it gives Mr a piece of mind when I’m out on the ocean knowing she is connected regardless. Starlink is a game changer we do use it on the USNS ships I sail on now.
It really is. The performance increase and cost of metered data in maritime service compared to the competition definitely sells itself. You wont see me throwing out my PACTOR modem anytime soon however. Thanks for watching !
It's a game changer.. I'm actually watching your video at a incident & commenting with a trial Starlink setup for a wildland fire ICP. Easy peasy setup compared to some comtraptions I've seen roll into camp.
It truly is GC. Decades ago the state had a contraption called the Edwards package which was a trailer mounted VSAT . I went to a training on it and was glad I never was tasked with setting it up. Setting up Starlink is actually fun. Stay safe out there and thanks for watching !
This looks like a game changer for those deployable assets. Thanks for the informative video Brett
You are welcome ! Thanks for watching!
Glad to see this. I've been wondering about this system, or more specifically, the mobile version.
I have really good luck with the service. Lessons learned are that it does not work well in dense foliage but only a really blinding rain causes it to lose service. It isnt cheap but it is cheaper than any other satellite option. The land mobile plans (moving vehicles) www.starlink.com/business/mobility do cost more than the fixed or portable solutions however the data rates and equipment cost outlay are more reasonable than the competition and the performance is very good. Unless one really needs satellite mobile data they should stick to the roam plan IMHO. I hope this helps and thanks for watching Rob !
Got my mini today, can't wait to get out in the field with it. Did some test runs with my battery bank using a small inverter, my 200w worth of panels will keep me in plenty of internet. Have a great one, threw a sub. 73
Awesome ! Thanks for watching !
Thanks for the info. I'm currently running the Mini on the 50' power cable with 5521 to USB-C connector into a USB-C PD port on my small portable power bank. Performance has been exceptional. I'd like to experiment with direct to 12V, as I'm guessing that is going to be the most efficient in terms of power consumption while out in the field.
You are welcome ! I have a have one of those power banks here that I use to power a small soldering iron. Its good to know running it through the 50' cable works . Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching !
Nice Killdozer shirt!
TY best thing about it is the puzzled looks :) Thanks for watching !
That sure beats a trailer full of equipment to basically accomplish the same task!
So true! Thanks for watching !
Big thing for people to remember is Starlink relies on a lot of ground stations (and their associated fiber) to help keep that speed up and latency down. So depending on the scale of disaster, Starlink might not be fully operational. I know some of the newer satellites they are launching support more bird to bird meshing to provide some diversity in case of ground station failure - but I don’t think it’s the full constellation yet. But overall, 110% worth it.
It isnt infrastructure free by any stretch of the imagination. For localized disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes Starlink has been great. Thanks for watching !
They still make analog phones???
They do :) Thanks for watching !
Would it be realistic to keep a mini kit have the subscription paused & in an emergency ie cell towers & grid power down. Be able to turn the subscription on?
Not that I know of. Thanks for watching !
What fuse you used? 5 amps? 3 amps?
4 amps is what I used. Thanks for watching !
$600 bucks in the US , same dish in Panama $200. Starlink a little price gouging
I just saw that. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching !
The data plan needs to change (50 GB is too small for todays needs and use) and needs to be a separate buy vs having to piggy bank onto the residential plan. Along with the release of the "approved" 5521 to USB -C adapter. Then we can talk game changer...
I dont have a data cap. Thanks for watching !
I am curious how you align if you have it is passthrough mode
I just point it North. The app tells you if you need to align it further. Thanks for watching !
My Starlink Dishy has been hitting 350Mb/s down and 80 up! It's not just important that its a stable connection. It's just as important that the connection is low latency especially when using it with a phone. I don't know the last time you used an geo-sat based ISP but besides the slow speeds, the delay makes things like VoIP and video calls un-useable. Thats why people still pay big bucks for inmarsat phones. I think Starlink will dominate that market shortly though.
The VOIP provider I use says as long as it falls below 100ms it is useable. Thanks for watching !
I got mine.. I got it running on usbc
Cool beans ! Thanks for watching !
Starlink SCUD….Self Contained Uplink Device
I think smartphones will continue to dominate that market for the foreseeable future :) Thanks for watching !
🤙🐑🤙
Thanks for watching !
:O )
Thanks for watching !
Last I checked this service was $600 a month...a complete non starter for most people.
That is not correct. Thanks for watching !
@@survivalcomms Well how much is it then?
@@wntu4 You have to have the home service ($120/month) then it's $30/month extra.
@@wntu4 Their residential service is $120/month unlimited. The roam RV/Portable/camping plan is $150/month unlimited. Business and other plans vary.
@@wntu4 www.starlink.com/service-plans
roam is 150 a month
