Putting up a Starlink dish takes an hour. Putting it in the right place, fixing it so it survives the rainy season, powering it properly and integrating it into an existing network without breaking what already works: that is the rest of the job, and that is where improvised installations show.

We treat Starlink as infrastructure, not as a box to unpack. Clearance survey, mounting, cable routing, electrical protection, integration with the existing router, and configuration as either the main link or a backup with automatic failover.

The problems this actually solves

Five situations where satellite is the right answer — and one where it is not.

The site is not eligible for fibre, and will not be for a long time

Farms, construction sites, camps, outlying offices. Waiting for a connection is not a plan. Starlink delivers usable throughput with no civil works, needing only a dish and a power supply.

The main line drops several times a month

Every outage stops the till, the mail or the booking system. We install Starlink as a backup, configured to take over automatically within seconds, then hand back when the line returns.

The dish was placed on the ground, or on an unstable mount

One obstacle in the line of sight is enough to cause permanent micro-outages, later blamed on the provider. We check real clearance and mount the dish on a support sized for wind and rain.

The dish cable runs through a half-open window

This is the installation we most often have to redo. Water ingress, a pinched cable, a door that no longer closes. We drill properly, seal the pass-through and protect the run.

Starlink works, but only for the machine plugged into it

The supplied router creates its own network alongside the existing one, and nothing talks to anything. We integrate it into your infrastructure: same network, same printers, same access.

What we build

From the clearance survey to network integration. Mounting alone does not interest us: what matters is what the dish is connected to.

Survey and mounting

  • Clearance survey and choice of dish position
  • Verification of real obstacles: trees, neighbouring buildings, parapets
  • Secure mounting on roof, mast, gable or ballasted support
  • Cable routing and protection, sealed wall pass-through
  • Clean, protected electrical connection
  • Rework of existing, badly mounted installations

Commissioning

  • Account and subscription creation and configuration
  • Dish commissioning and assisted alignment
  • Measurement of real throughput and latency after installation
  • Obstruction rate checked over several hours
  • Supplied router configured, or switched to bridge mode
  • Account credentials and restart procedure handed over

Network integration

  • Connection to the existing network: router, switch, access points
  • Configuration as main link or as backup
  • Automatic failover when the usual line drops
  • Load sharing between two links where usage justifies it
  • Firewall rules and remote access adapted
  • Tills, cameras and printers verified on the backup link

How a project runs

Four stages. The first happens on site and determines everything else.

  1. Site survey

    We look for a position with enough clearance, reachable for maintenance, near a power feed and a cable entry point. If there is none, we tell you before you buy the equipment.

  2. Quote and equipment

    Itemised pricing: dish, mount, cabling, pass-through, electrical protection, labour. The mount is sized for the site, not picked at random.

  3. Mounting and connection

    Fixing, cable routing, sealed pass-through, electrical connection. We leave the site clean and the opening closed.

  4. Commissioning and integration

    Activation, alignment, real throughput measurement, then integration into the existing network and failover configuration. We test the failover in front of you, by genuinely unplugging the main line.

Clean mounting, electrical safety, controlled integration

A dish is outdoor equipment connected to your network and to your electrical installation. Both deserve to be treated seriously.

  • Mounting sized for wind and rain, never an improvised support
  • Wall pass-through drilled and sealed, never a cable through a window
  • Cable protected along its whole run, with a drip loop
  • Power taken from a protected circuit; a UPS is advised for critical use
  • Starlink router set to bridge mode when it must not compete with yours
  • Account credentials handed to you, never kept on our side
  • Failover tested under real conditions before handover

We do not mount a dish on a roof whose condition does not allow it, and we do not improvise a fixing for want of a proper support. If the site calls for a mast or structural work, it appears on the quote.

Who it is for

Satellite is for those whose lack of a fixed line is structural, and for those for whom an outage is expensive.

  • Remote sites and farms

    Farms, quarries, camps and agricultural installations outside covered areas.

  • Hotels and tourism

    Coastal or remote locations where connection quality is part of the offering.

  • Construction and temporary sites

    Fast commissioning, then dismantling and redeployment on the next site.

  • Businesses needing a backup link

    The main line stays; the satellite takes over automatically.

  • NGOs and field missions

    Sites with no usable local infrastructure.

Real use cases

Five configurations we set up regularly.

  1. An office outside the fibre area

    Starlink as the main link, integrated with the existing router; machines, printer and mail unchanged.

  2. A shop whose till stops at every outage

    Starlink as backup, automatic failover, till and payment terminal tested on the backup link.

  3. A hotel by the lagoon

    Roof-mounted dish, integrated with the existing guest network, load shared with the terrestrial line.

  4. A site running for several months

    Mounted on a ballasted mast, dismantling planned and equipment redeployable to the next site.

  5. An existing but unstable installation

    Complete rework: new position, correct mounting, protected cable, network integration redone.

Why give us this work

Nothing unverifiable: no years in business, no client count, no certification. Only the way we work.

  • We integrate, we do not unpack

    The dish is wired into your existing network, not parked beside it. Your printers, cameras and machines keep seeing each other.

  • Failover is tested in front of you

    We genuinely unplug the main line and watch together how long the switch takes.

  • Mounting is built to last a rainy season

    Sized support, sealed pass-through, protected cable. That is what separates an installation from an assembly.
