What’s the price of a starlink connection?
The internet connection given by Starlink may come through the satellite, but the work of transporting it to the device is of many other tools and equipment and the real price is of them. The way a fiber is a router for broadband connection and for this, users have to pay some installation fees. Similarly, an installation kit is also required for Starlink Satellite Internet Service.
If the details on the live website for other countries of Starlink are seen, then this internet kit is somewhat DIY i.e. ‘Do It Eurrself’ kit, which any user can install himself. For this you do not need any special engineer or technician. The kit consists of a satellite dish, a power adapter, a starlink router, a 15 -meter starlink cable and an AC cable. All these things work together to create a Wi-Fi network in your home by taking an internet signal from the satellite.
This service of Starlink in India can be launched especially for areas where services like 5G, 4G or fiber broadband have not yet reached. In such remote and rural areas where mobile network is also weak, the setup of Starlink can be revealed as an option. However, its initial price can be slightly heavy for many users. Talking about foreign markets, this kit in the US comes to $ 349, which sits around Rs 30,000 in India by the current exchange rate. In some countries, this figure goes up to Rs 36,000 in Indian currency.
The company has not yet released plans for India. However, a report that came some time ago claimed that the price of basic service could be kept at $ 10 per month to woo users initially. However, the installation charge may have to be paid separately at that time. That is, a lump sum investment is necessary to use starlink for the first time, only then the monthly plan will be implemented.
After getting a license from DOT, Starlink will now apply for a trial spectrum in India and after that the process of installing the user terminal will begin. The company’s plan is to focus on the rural area in the next few months and roll out its service, so that the connectivity of the Internet in those areas can be increased where any network has not yet access.
