Does the Starlink Mini work for you? For me the Starlink Mini is perfect for when I'm out on an adventure and need to have a little bit of internet where I would otherwise have nothing.

I believe based on what I was getting over the weekend that the longer the panel is allowed to calibrate with satellites it seems to improve. I did do a reboot after it aligned and that’s where it got fast. Stoked with this product and I’m still working on experimenting more with it.

It's really unbelievable how far radio wave technologies have come since the early 2000s. When I was kid, if you could get a Hughes net / wavlink satellite connection for $65 a month and it still needed 56K to send the upload requests and you were lucky to get 2MB down. There was a fixed dish on a roof in a static location. Now this little tiny device the size of a notebook can get over 100MB and 20 up moving down the road from dozens of satellites mesh network hopping from satellite to satellite traveling thousands of mph.

It's really more a testament to rocketry technology and advancement of silicon transistors. Hughsnet is geostationary which is more than 22,000 miles away while Starlink is under 400 miles. To achieve global coverage, thousands more satellites are needed which is only possible because cost of launching them has come down. Faster chips also allow more efficient digital signal processing making way for faster data throughput. QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) technology for interpretation of radio waves has been around since the 1970s and it is still the method used today including starlink as well as wifi.

Jeven, outstanding presentation. I am a solo sailor, this is what many of us have been waiting for. Your test of power input and consumption was most interesting. When future subscription plans are made available this will be the standard. This is a game changer. Starlink is a revolution, comparable to the advent of the internet and now AI. Thank you kindly for all your efforts and sharing.

Great review - better than the other's doing a review. I initially thought about getting this version, but realized that I did not already have another version (at the time of writing), precludes me from one currently. However, based upon your review, I realized my use case needs one of the other versions.

Hey Jeven, thanks for this really interesting testing. I am currently working on a project of using a remote controlled marine vessel for survey operations and i am looking for a solution to constantly connect the drone with my computer. 4G is not given at any location and therefore I need a internet connection via stalite. The Starlink marine version is taking to much power and moreover it will be to large and havy for my drone. It would be really interesting to see if the Starlink mini is able to work in motion but also if the system is able to work, when its rolling and pitching. This will also be interesting for all the sailors out there. A video in which you rotate the Starlink antenna a bit and check whether it can also be used on boats would be super interesting.

Excellent presentation. Thank you. Did you happen to notice if the wattage draw was any different with the USB-C cable? I was hoping it would draw a bit less.

@5thGenNativeTexan 12 күн бұрын

I'm anxious to compare the power draw of the Starlink AC adapter versus direct to USB-C PD. I too am hoping it will be less, but there should be some efficiency gains via USB PD, since you're not having to power the AC inverter in the power bank, and then have the Starlink AC adapter convert it back to DC.

@markmonroe7330 12 күн бұрын

@@5thGenNativeTexan There are actually three ways of powering it - AC adapter to 12v 5521, 12v 5521 to 12v 5521 and USB-C PD to 5521. Some detailed comparisons of the three would be wonderful.

You should have looked at the statistics graph in the Starlink app. A Speedtest will not accurately tell you if you can do phone calls or stream. If there are long dropouts, the service will be unusable for that.
