Starlink Mini review: space internet goes ultraportable
Yes, it works inside a backpack.
That makes the Starlink Mini ideal for anyone like me looking to combine remote work with off-grid adventures by foot, bike, boat, or van — either for an extended weekend trip or as a lifestyle. In my testing, the Starlink Mini consumes less than half the energy of my much larger Standard Actuated dish with its separate Gen 2 router — a huge savings for a device that might be running on battery power 24/7 when mounted on an RV, boat, or off-grid cabin. Sure, the Standard Actuated dish would have been faster, but that would have required me to set up that giant terminal, motorized stand, and separate Wi-Fi router for maybe a 20 percent gain in performance, based on my previous experience.
