It will take the Armed Forces: Starlink has released a "unmistakable" Terminal for Satellite Internet (Video)

To spread: SpaceX has announced the release of a new Starlink antenna, created for use in harsh conditions. The novelty with the name Performance is also provided for use in motion, it provides a speed of loading 400 Mbps, and then it will come out at hygabit speeds. About it reports PCMAG. The price of the new terminal is quite high - $ 1999. But, as the publication notes, a new Performance is an improved version of the old "plate" SpaceX, which appeared in 2022 and then cost $ 2500.

It is reported that the model designed to work in difficult conditions contains an antenna that works on movable vehicles. "Starlink Performance designed for durability, enlisted in an aluminum body and is intended for reliable connection in harsh and distant conditions, extreme weather conditions and when used in motion. It works from AC and/or DC current," the company states.

To demonstrate the durability of the new terminal, SpaceX has shown a video where the equipment works on board the drone and remains whole, even when the Falcon 9 missile is landing nearby. For Starlink Performance promise a 10-year service life of "in the field", and also offer a three-year warranty on the antennia. one year). SpaceX claims that a new high -performance antenna is able to withstand the wind up to 270+ km/h, a temperature from -40 ° C to 60 ° C, conditions with high vibration.

Performance consumes an average of 70 watts of power, while the old model consumed 110 watts. As for gigabit-speed, they are promised next year, and no changes in the equipment itself will be required. Earlier, focus wrote that laser Internet can work 10-100 times faster than Starlink and be cheaper than optic fiber. It was about developing the American startup Taara.
