What to do when you don’t have internet access? We give you a hint

Half the trouble if we actually deliberately decided to hide somewhere deep in the forest. What’s worse is that to get “away from civilization” sometimes it’s enough to go a bit out of town. In many places, access to the Internet can still be a problem. There is no infrastructure for optical fiber, and the telephone coverage is too weak to use the alternative of mobile Internet.

Fortunately, there is a solution that will work perfectly in such a situation: Starlink.

Everyone has probably heard about Starlink. In theory, it is just another Internet access service. The difference is that instead of using optical fiber or telephone infrastructure for this purpose, here we are dealing with satellite communications.

What does this mean in practice? Thanks to Starlink we have access to the Internet practically everywhere. No matter where we live – all we need is a piece of clear sky and the entire digital world is open to us.

Importantly, the quality of such a connection can be quite decent. The transfer speed obtained using the Starlink system easily exceeds 100 Mb/s, and in favorable conditions it can be close to up to 200 Mb/s. In practice, in Poland, the typical download speed is around 130 Mbps, so in many situations it is several times better than what can be obtained with LTE or 5G.

A big advantage of Starlink is that the entire system does not require complicated installation and waiting for a technician to install it. Instead, just buy one of several available kits, find a piece of free space and position the antenna in such a way that it has an unobstructed view of the sky. In fact, the only cable we need to worry about is the power cable.

Well, yes, first you need to choose the right set, which consists of an antenna, wireless router and necessary mounting elements. The good news is that you can easily buy all of them at Media Expert. However, the question remains, what exactly is the difference between them?

Starlink Mini Kit is the cheapest, most compact set. It is adapted primarily for mobile use, so it is a great option, for example, for camping, while traveling or as an emergency network access channel when our basic connection is unreliable.

The mobility of the set comes primarily from the fact that the antenna and router have been combined into one neat module. Additionally, the whole thing is very light because it weighs only a few 1.10kg (without accessories). In addition, it boasts excellent water resistance IP67, and the power consumption is only 25-40 W, which is much less than in the case of larger sets.

Of course, nothing stops you from purchasing Starlink Mini Kit for home use. He can handle it without any problems, which is a big advantage in this case lower price than other available options.

If you don’t know which version of Starlink to choose, this will probably be the best choice for you Starlink Standard Kit. This is a basic option, intended primarily for home use. A slightly larger set, with higher energy consumption (75-100 W), but in return it offers much better parameters.

In the standard set, the antenna and the router are two independent elements, so each of them can boast slightly greater capabilities. The latter benefits primarily from the latter, which provides communication WiFi 6 and range up to 297 m². This means a stable connection even in buildings and with more complex room layouts. This is important if we plan, for example, to play online or watch movies on streaming platforms.

If you want to start your adventure with the Internet via satellite, it is best to visit the Media Expert website as a first step. There you will find more information about the Starlink service and you can buy each of the sets listed here. This is the easiest way to do so you will never have to complain about network access problems again.
