What is a Starlink and precaution required during installation of Starlink?

 Starlink is a communication service that uses artificial satellites. Starlink is in low earth orbit at the height of 550 km. Since one satellite can cover only a few hundred kilometers and cannot stand still in the sky, it is necessary to fly a large number of satellites (thousands or more).

However, compared to geostationary satellites at an altitude of 36,000 km, it is far closer to the surface of the earth, so it is a great advantage that latency (delay) can be lowered. Starlink's latency can be suppressed to about 20ms, and the company is appealing that it can also enjoy online games. The download speed can be about 100 to 200 Mbps.

In this way, a system that uses a large number of satellites is called a "constellation," Among them, a system with a large number such as Starlink is also called a "mega constellation." It costs too much to use a large satellite, but in recent years, with the advancement of the high performance of small satellites, this has become a reality and is becoming more widespread in the field of earth observation.

However, launching a large number of satellites and establishing a large number of base stations requires a huge initial investment since it is possible to provide services to areas such as mountainous areas where high-speed Internet has been difficult so far.

Electric shock is rarely a concern when lightning strikes.

Keep in mind that bad weather (heavy rain, snow, wind, etc.) can affect your Starlink Australia satellite Internet connection, slowing it down, and in rare cases.

Do not use this product if you hear popping, swooshing, crackling, strong scents, or smoke emanating from anywhere in the system. Please turn off your system, turn Starlink Adapter off, and contact Starlink technical support.

Warning! To avoid personal injury and property damage during excavation, pay attention and follow basic safety procedures, including:

Wear the appropriate face, eye, and hand protectors.
When drilling holes, stay away from studs, electrical cables, and water pipes. In any of these, drilling a hole could result in a fire, electric shock, harm, or even death.
Drill a hole from the inside of the house to the outside of the house at a slightly downward angle and apply the sealant completely. Improper drilling and sealing can lead to the invasion and damage of water and insects. You can purchase starlink tools from Starlink Shop.
Lightning protection

When using Starlink in lightning-prone areas, external lightning protection systems (lightning rods, grounding rods, surge protectors, etc.) can reduce the product's sensitivity to lightning. Unplug the item from the wall AC outlet and disconnect the antenna cable for additional security during thunderstorms or when leaving the product unattended. This will stop lightning strikes, and power line surges from damaging the product.

The following factors are not covered by the warranty in terms of damage:

Fires, floods, hail, storms, earthquakes, meteors, solar storms, dinosaurs, electric surges, lightning, or other natural disasters.
Accident, misuse, abuse, or tampering.
Inappropriate or negligent maintenance.
See the main Starlink Shop Australia Internet kit regulatory notice for more information on safety, regulation, labeling, and disposal.
