Having recently returned from a sailing trip on the Adriatic Sea, I thought it was a great opportunity to mention Starlink.
We took a Starlink terminal on board the boat, allowing a couple of the group to access important work communications literally from the middle of the sea, and we might just have streamed a few sports games too, all with absolutely no delays or interference (no teams mentioned!).
Whatever your opinion of Elon Musk, if you struggle with internet connectivity or you are travelling and will be without reliable connectivity for a long period, this kit is worth serious consideration.
For those not in the know, Starlink is a satellite internet service that provides broadband internet using a network of satellites in low Earth orbit. It removes the need for cables, fibre and masts, and connects straight to the terminal (AKA the dish).
It's designed to offer fast, reliable internet speeds and supports cloud applications. So, from a business perspective, it supports video and VoIP calls, file uploading and downloading, and remote access to systems such as your CCTV and remote access control, meaning you can travel the globe whilst maintaining communications.
It can be a great option for rural and remote locations, including farms, warehouses and temporary businesses. It's also great for sailors who like to spend a lot of time out in the sea and don't want to miss the football (or important work Zoom calls!)...
If you'd like more information, give us a call. We can talk through all your networking options and assess whether Starlink is right for you.
