Priority data for the job

Is Starlink right for your event?

Starlink is a strong fit for outdoor events where mobile signal is weak or you expect large crowds which leads to overloaded mobile networks.

All you need is a clear view of the sky and either a 3 pin plug socket or a 12v power system.

Tell us about your site and event dates. We'll confirm whether Starlink is the right fit before sending anything out.

Starlink vs. cellular 4G/5G networks

A simple comparison of the two ways to get your event equipment online.

Starlink
Cellular 4G/5G networks
Priority satellite internet connection
Shared cellular network with thousands of people
Speeds up to 220 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload
Overcrowded 4G/5G networks or poor signal areas can cause painfully slow and intermittent internet.
Process multiple card payments in quick succession
A single card payment can take minutes or may not work at all
Weatherproof satellite dish
4G/5G equipment must be sheltered
Requires a clear view of the sky
Works indoors or outdoors

Not running an event? For homes and everyday use where mobile coverage is good, our 4G/5G home router or pocket WiFi is the simpler choice.

Common questions
