Field camps, survey teams, project sites: if it has sky, it can have internet — and the kit fits in a backpack.
The Starlink Mini weighs 1.1 kg, is IP67-sealed against dust and rain, and draws 25–40 W from a 12–48 V DC source — a decent power bank or a small solar panel keeps it running. Rated −30°C to 50°C and operational in 96+ kph wind, per Starlink’s own specification sheets.
The kit is not tied to an address. Teams carry one dish between camps; the connection comes up wherever there is sky. Pair it with a plan sized to the team — 500GB for comms and reporting, more for data-heavy work.
A longer-lived site earns the Standard kit: stronger WiFi for a larger camp and a dish built for a permanent mount, with $50 professional installation when the site justifies it.
