Calling all digital nomads and van-lifers: SpaceX’s Starlink Mini is now available everywhere in the US. The small antenna costs $599 and requires a monthly subscription of $50 to $165. Thanks to thousands of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink has the unique ability to send high-speed internet just about anywhere.
Standard service is great for home internet in rural areas, while the provider’s Roam service and new portable dish are ideal for staying connected on the go. The small, portable antenna costs $599 and requires a monthly subscription to a Starlink Roam plan, starting between $50 and $165. Starlink Roam has no contracts, so you can start and stop service anytime, and it comes with a 30-day trial.
The Mini is a satellite dish and Wi-Fi router all in one that’s about the size of a laptop. According to Starlink’s website, it uses approximately half the power of Starlink’s standard dish. It can be powered with a portable USB battery and can “melt snow and withstand sleet, heavy rain and harsh winds.” This is the first time that high-speed internet will be available on the go in areas that aren’t reached by cell towers. You could backpack the Appalachian Trail or take your RV on a cross-country road trip and still stream your favorite holiday movies at the end of the day.
