​​What is Starlink?
Starlink is a satellite internet constellation being constructed by SpaceX and provides groundbreaking internet access when it comes to both speed and stability, even for those living in rural Australia.

As part of the Starlink broadband rollout, SpaceX has been launching a network of small satellites into space.

At the same time, Starlink terminals (or dishes) which are shipped to users as a kit, are being rolled out across the globe, linking anyone who has one installed at their home, to SpaceX's super-fast broadband.

There are currently more than 1,700 satellites in orbit (and that number is growing fast) with over 11,000 users across Australia, and 5K on the wait list.

The process

Installation ProcessAt R&S , we have established the industry standard when it comes to quality and durability of installation.Our technicians follow a structured and reliable process to ensure consistent quality across all installations.

The system has been outlined in the diagram below.

1. SURVEY

Assess installation site in relation to technician access, signal strength, safety, cable routes, mounting possibilities and preferred router/modem location. If there are viable installation options, our technician can liaise with you to confirm the installation and planning can begin.

2. PLAN

Select optimum mount to use for the Starlink dish, and the most efficient cable route from the dish to the interior router. Devise the best positioning for the interior cable wall outlet and Starlink router prior to installation.


3. INSTALL

Firmly mount the Starlink dish to the roof or wall of the building. Drill necessary holes through the roof and/or walls for the Starlink’s cable to pass through. Any exterior cable must be firmly pinned down. Feed the cable into the building and waterproof the entry holes. Cut out and install an interior wall outlet near the Starlink routers position, whereby the cable will pass through into the house's interior. 


4. SET-UP

Connect the Starlink router and dish cable to the power block, then plug the power block into a power outlet inside. Download the Starlink app and follow the prompts to set up the network connection.


5. TEST

Run a speed test to check the download and upload speed. Internet connection must be fast and effective before leaving the install site. Welcome to Starlink’s rapid internet connection!
