Why Starlink
Stop Choosing Between
Wild and Connected.

The best campsites don’t have cell towers. The best fishing holes don’t have service. Starlink gives you real broadband internet from low-Earth orbit so you can work remotely, navigate confidently, share the trip in real time, and stay reachable in an emergency. All without compromising where you go. Learn more at starlink.com →

Work From Anywhere

Video calls, file uploads, and client check-ins handled from a dispersed campsite, a forest road, or 11,000 feet in the Rockies.

Safety and Peace of Mind

Stay reachable when it matters. Real-time weather, navigation updates, and emergency communication with no cell signal needed.

No Compromises on Where You Go

The most remote campsites, backcountry trailheads, and off-grid destinations are now on the grid whenever you want them to be.

Installed the Right Way

A clean install makes the difference between a system that works and one that doesn’t. You source the Starlink unit and we handle the mounting, routing, and power integration properly.

Common Questions
FAQs
Which Starlink unit do you recommend for overlanding?
We are not affiliated with or a reseller of Starlink products. You purchase the unit directly from Starlink. For most overlanders, we recommend the Starlink Mini. It is compact, lightweight, and built to run natively on 12V DC power with very low draw. For full-time builds or high-demand setups where maximum speed and extreme-weather durability matter, we recommend the Gen 3 Starlink Panel. We’ll help you choose the right unit during your discovery call based on how you actually travel.
Which Starlink plan works best?
We recommend the Roam plan for overlanders. It works across service areas without a fixed address, and you can pause service between trips so you’re only paying when you’re actually out there. Compare Roam plans at starlink.com →
Do I need dedicated power for Starlink?
It depends on your current setup. If you already have a battery system in your rig, we can often integrate Starlink directly. If your electrical is minimal or you’re running a truck or SUV without a dedicated aux battery, we’ll typically recommend adding a portable power unit like a Bluetti Elite 30 or similar to give Starlink a clean, reliable power source without draining your starter or running everything through your vehicle’s 12V system. We’ll assess your setup during the discovery call and tell you exactly what you need.
Do I buy the Starlink unit myself?
Yes. We are not affiliated with or a reseller of Starlink products, so you purchase the unit directly from Starlink at starlink.com. We handle everything else, including mounting, cable routing, and power integration. We’ll tell you exactly which unit to order during your discovery call.
Do you install on rigs you didn’t build?
Absolutely. We install on customer-owned vans, trucks, and overland rigs regardless of who built them. Bring us what you’ve got and we’ll assess your power system and make it work cleanly.
How long does installation take?
A standalone Starlink install typically takes one full day, and we require the vehicle overnight to make sure everything is done properly and tested before we hand it back. Installs as part of a full build are scheduled into the broader project timeline.
Does Starlink work while driving?
Yes. The units we install both support in-motion use on the Roam plan. We cover best practices for your specific mount and setup during the handoff walkthrough.
