Starlink, Mobile and Home Use

Regarding Flagpole Buddy. I still need to stand on a stool to set the pole in the brackets. However since Brian is probably closer to 7 feet tall than he is my height, he should be able to reach it with no problem.

Don't feel bad Jim. I am just as vertically challenged as you. However we don't haft to duck as far when we walk under the trailer overhang

PS I do keep a single step stool around though, especially to hook up (lock the hitch). Brian could probably just reach without even leaning over the bed rail

There's always positives....just need the right outlook/attitude.

Items procured and mounted to 1/4" plywood for installation under the steps.



Accessible from the pass thru storage.

I will be placing a set of switches to control power. I need to test all operations before final install.

Should power be fused between power supply and POE injector?

Nice. I just fused the feed to the 48v power supply.

I just read an announcement today that later this year, Starlink will release a new antenna called the Mini. It's about the size of a small laptop, and can fit in a backpack. It's believed that you'll be able to power it with 12V.

The flagpole buddy or the Piper?😁

This could get very interesting with the recent launch of Starlink/T-Mobile cellular capable Satellites. Direct to Cell technology partners reportedly include KDDI (Japan), Optus (Australia), One NZ (New Zealand), and Rogers (Canada) in addition to T-Mobile.

Yup...you own something for six months and it becomes obsolete, gotta buy more stuff to stay current....

I just ordered my star link mobile today. I have been aware of it for a while but have hobbled by with a Verizon 4g jet pack.... After reading this thread, I realized I "MUST" have real internet. 😁 Thanks to this forum for spending my money! I hate having any of that laying around...
I went with the new standard mobile package after a solid 5 minutes of research, I will report back once I receive my order and get it set up.

We're very good at what we do!....lol

Just wait till you ask about tools......or spare parts.....

However from reading, it appears for mobile use the new HP one may be better - correct. But they use more power. Me thinks Ill let you guys sort out the bugs on the best set up and save my money for now. SWMBO would have a cow on the monthly bill.

Yoda Last I saw the HP one was $3,000. Given how well my standard one works it would be hard to justify that cost.

[Scott'n'Wendy]

I agree with Neil, just not worth the cost. I'm sure it is better, but you would have to have a need for that extra ability. Like 'run'n'gunnin' on Tour of Duty online and streaming six HD movies at the same time while SWMBO is facetiming with the grandkids...lol

I missed your post earlier but I agree with COReflection , I would just fuse the supply side of the PS
Just FYI, the yaosheng POE has an internal 3a glass fuse.
Nice looking install.

The back of the router has a reset button. Might want to mark the top of the router where it is in case you need to use press it at sometime in the future. Maybe?

Yep I miss read the price....left off a zero

Maybe down the road in a few years
Thanks
