What is Starlink?

Starlink is a network of 1000's of Low Earth Orbit Satellites approximately 500km from earth that are sent a broadband internet connection from ground stations and pass overhead one after the other to deliver continuous High-Speed internet around the world without the need for a fixed line connection.  The only requirement for a working Starlink connection is a clear line of site to the sky and can be used almost anywhere.  Starlink was launched in 2019 and at present has over 3 million users worldwide.  The process for getting Starlink is easy.  The hardware in most cases is delivered to the user or can be bought at a number of major retailers and can simply be set up anywhere near where the user wants it as long as there is an unobstructed line of site to the sky.  The kit supplied could be considered a "temporary" set up and requires you to place the antenna unit outside, run a fixed length (usually 18m) cable to somewhere where there is a power point where the modem/router unit can be placed in the vicinity of where the internet will be used.  This usually involves running the Starlink cable from the outdoor unit to modem/router through an open window or door.  Currently there is no real support from Starlink for those who want a permanent professional roof mounted installation with the cable run concealed into the house where the modem would go.  That's where we come in!  All Tech Sorted have 25 years of antenna installation experience, are fully insured and we offer a professional permanent Starlink installation in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and all areas in between!  Contact us today for a chat about a professional, permanent StarlinkiInstallation at your home or business.  Installs start from around $300.00 We are also experts in improving Wi-Fi coverage and installing dedicated High-Speed internet lines/connection points as well.
