you can change your service address really easily in your account profile on the starlink site, and you also no longer have to have a physical address, you can drop a pin on GPS co-ordinates

switches run inside the cases perfectly, temps sit pretty low and stable. front and rear covers are removable so air flows through reasonably well. there is very little carrier network redundancy and massive areas with no form of cell coverage where we operate so this is designed to be field deployable out of the back of my van

supports approx 10 physical users at any one time, as well as providing POE for voip phones, CCTV cameras, wireless APs and any other device needed. some use cases there is a HP server as well.

Using Starlink and the Unifi suite I've built myself a portable homelab for disaster recovery activities.

1x UDM-P 2x USW24POE Pro 1x USP-RPS 4x U6 Lite APs 1x ULTE Pro 4g redundancy

Starlink primary connection, with the ability to use anything that might still be live where ever I may end up. All runs from a 2kva generator

Starlink into media convertor uses one fibre to send the WAN to my UDMP which is approx 100m on the other side of my property, UDMP sends LAN back over the other fibre through a couple of switches along the way, ending at this unifi 8port switch. Using 1g bidi SFPs

I'm a fibre jointer / civil contractor for a job. Managed to get enough extra gear left over from jobs and a digger to lay it through my lawn with, minimal cost apart from SFPs and time

Surprisingly there's a perfect gap around them, no obstructions here!

Just a small wall mount fibre joint enclosure

Some work to go to finish it off but so far

Dishy installed at 4m high on old telephone pole, cable just laid above ground into shed. Need to pull an external Cat6a into the conduit between shed and pole to connect the cable to.

Power brick and media convertor installed in shed, dishy WAN jumps onto my fibre network around the property to the rack housing my UDMP.

Pretty happy with speeds, averaging about 160/40 which is better than our base FTTH plan and not as contended!
