Satellite internet no longer requires a stationary setup. SpaceX is working on a new version of the Starlink Mini antenna, which will be fully autonomous thanks to a built-in battery. This opens new horizons for users who need a stable connection in remote locations.
What will change with the new version?
Traditional Starlink terminals require a connection to the power grid, which limits their use in field conditions or during emergencies. The new model eliminates this drawback — it will be able to operate independently of external power sources.
Who is this important for?
- Tourists and travelers heading to hard-to-reach regions.
- Rescue services and military personnel who need connectivity in any conditions.
- Entrepreneurs working in the field, such as geologists or construction workers.
When to expect the release?
Exact release dates for the device have not yet been announced, but testing has already begun. It is expected that Starlink Mini will become available within the coming months, which could significantly expand the audience for satellite internet.
