Choosing the Right Starlink Dish: Mini, Standard & High Performance
Starlink offers three dish options—Mini, Standard, and High Performance—each designed to suit different needs based on size, performance, and operating conditions.
-
Starlink Mini: Compact and highly portable, the Mini is perfect for light internet use such as browsing, emails, and streaming. It's a great option for individuals, travellers, or low-power setups where portability is key.
-
Standard (Gen 3): The most versatile choice, the Standard dish delivers faster speeds and is ideal for general day-to-day use including HD streaming, video calls, and gaming. It’s also well-suited to more challenging environments such as remote areas or mobile setups where consistent connectivity is essential.
- High Performance: Designed for even more demanding conditions, the High Performance dish provides the best stability and speed, particularly in harsh or obstructed environments. It’s ideal for commercial users, remote operations, or larger teams that rely on high data throughput and consistent uptime.
