Starlink, known for its ability to bring high-speed internet to remote areas, is a revolutionary service provided by SpaceX. While Starlink equipment is sold as a self-installation kit, there are several reasons why opting for professional installation can be a smart choice—especially if you want optimal performance, clean aesthetics, and long-lasting durability. At SPM LOGISTICS LLC, we specialize in professional Starlink installations in California, and we’ve seen firsthand the benefits of doing it right.
The Appeal of Self-Installation
Starlink’s self-installation kit allows customers to set up their dish on their own, making it a convenient option for those who don't mind a bit of DIY. It’s entirely possible to mount the dish in your backyard, on your balcony, or on a flat rooftop. But here’s the catch—if you don’t care about exposed cables or long-term durability, self-installation may work for you.
However, exposed cables have their drawbacks. Pets can chew through them, and prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can degrade the cables quickly, leading to unnecessary repairs and replacements. Additionally, if aesthetics are important to you, those visible wires may not be the look you’re going for.
The Importance of Proper Dish Alignment
One of the most critical aspects of Starlink installation is finding the best spot for the dish to avoid obstacles. Starlink dishes scan the sky for obstructions, and over time, they’ll provide a map highlighting where potential issues might be. Proper alignment is key to avoiding interruptions in your service.
While the Starlink app can help identify these obstacles, determining the ideal spot for mounting—whether it’s on the roof, a wall, or a pole—requires expertise. Moving the dish back and forth after installation is both time-consuming and frustrating. A professional installer can conduct a thorough site inspection to identify the optimal location right from the start.
Roof and Wall Mounting: Leave It to the Pros
In many cases, the only way to achieve a clear view of the sky is by mounting the dish on a roof or a wall. However, this is where things can get tricky. Starlink offers special mounts for these situations, but knowing how to install them properly is crucial. You don’t want to drill into the wrong part of your roof or wall, which could cause leaks or structural damage.
A professional installer understands the best practices for drilling and sealing these areas, ensuring a secure and weatherproof installation. Moreover, aligning the dish with the correct angles and directions requires experience to guarantee maximum performance from your Starlink connection.
