Understanding Starlink Standard and Starlink Mini better

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk-led Starlink Internet is making global headlines for the benefits it has brought to tens of thousands of people. But there seems to be a bit of confusion about Starlink Standard and Starlink Mini.

Let’s understand. Starlink Standard is recommended for high-demand daily internet applications. The kits covers up to 297 sq. m., can endure extreme atmospheric conditions, and offers everything you need to get online in just minutes.

Starlink Standard ensures high-speed internet, making it ideal for streaming, video calls and gaming. It has a slightly larger surface area than the Starlink Mini. Both include a cable length of 15.2 m. Longer cable options are available in the shop.

Starlink Mini kit, on the other hand, covers up to 112 sq. m., and offers all essential options needed to get online in minutes. Its compact design and relatively less energy usage make it ideal for fixed and portable use.

Both Starlink Standard and Starlink Mini are electronic phased array antennas, meaning they can track the signal from satellites overhead and don’t necessarily need to physically move. You just need to ensure proper alignment and no obstructions.
