Our certified network engineers received a service request for Starlink installation in Hollywood, FL. To process the request, our team performed the following procedures:
To assess the customer’s request, site visit is planned to perform the following scope of work:
🔹Confirm the actual Starlink model that is on the ship.
(customer recently purchased ship, no access to legacy account)
🔹Determine the Starlink (proprietary) cable path and type of cable (connectors)
🔹Determine if the Mini will work, or if we need to change to use the existing model and account.
🔹Mounting options for the dish
🔹If there is an existing Gen2 router or will a Gen3 router be needed.
🔹Installation location for the power supply and router?
After the site visit, our certified technicians able to assess the needed materials, parts , mounting solutions and manpower needed for a smooth Starlink installation. The legacy Starlink system is to be reactivated and scheduled the installation with our Starlink installers in Hollywood, FL.
Upon arrival at the marina in Hollywood, FL, our technical team began by conducting a Starlink Obstruction Test to identify the optimal mounting position. This test was crucial in ensuring the selected location offered unobstructed sky visibility, which is vital for consistent satellite signal reception.
The yacht’s hardtop roof was chosen for its elevated and structurally sound surface. The mounting area was carefully assessed to support both signal performance andsecure attachment, ensuring reliable operation even while underway.
From there, the team proceeded with the full marine-grade installation, including sealed outdoor cable routing and secure mounting of the Starlink Flat High Performance dish ensuring long-term durability and connectivity in maritime conditions.
The Starlink cable was routed beneath a structural panel, on the ceiling or deck of the yacht. Uses fasteners to secure and organize cable and sealed with silicon sealant for weatherproofing.
The Starlink cable was connected to the Gen3 router. Plugged the into the power source. Activated and configured the SSID and password. Guide the customer on how to use the Starlink app.
Following the configuration of the Starlink system, a series of Starlink speed tests were carried out to verify the connectivity performance. These tests are essential to assess the efficiency and reliability of the satellite internet service by measuring various parameters such as download speed, upload speed, and latency (ping).
🔹Latency (Ping): This refers to the delay between sending a request to the server and receiving a response. Latency is crucial for real-time applications like online gaming, video conferencing, and VoIP calls. Starlink’s latency is generally around 20 to 40 milliseconds, which is suitable for most uses, though it may vary based on satellite positioning and network load.
🔹Download Speed: This measures how quickly data can be received from the internet. A higher download speed indicates that streaming, browsing, or downloading files will be faster.
🔹Upload Speed: This measures the rate at which data can be sent from your device to the internet. Upload speeds are important for activities like video calls, cloud backups, and uploading large files.
🔹Latency: Ranged from 16 ms to 34 ms. All tests fall within the acceptable latency range for Starlink (20 to 40 ms).
🔹Download Speed: Values were 132 Mbps, 180 Mbps, and 386 Mbps. The download speeds are impressive, especially the last test at 386 Mbps, which is significantly above the typical range for Starlink (50 to 150 Mbps). T
🔹Upload Speed: Values were 25 Mbps, 28 Mbps, and 34 Mbps. The upload speeds are also above the typical range for Starlink (10 to 30 Mbps), with the last test reaching 34 Mbps.
The successful installation of Starlink in the luxury yacht in Hollywood, Florida, exemplifies the advantages of modern satellite internet technology in marine environments. With professional cable management and secure mounting, the setup ensures reliable connectivity even in challenging conditions inherent to maritime travel.
The recent speed tests conducted on the Starlink system highlight its impressive performance:
🔹Download Speeds reached up to 386 Mbps, far exceeding typical expectations and enabling seamless streaming and browsing.
🔹Upload Speeds also performed well, peaking at 34 Mbps, making it ideal for video calls and uploading content.
🔹Latency remained within acceptable ranges, ensuring minimal delay for real-time applications.
This high-speed, low-latency connectivity is particularly beneficial for the yacht’s owner, enhancing the experience of exploring coastal waters and beyond. The Starlink Roam service allows for global portability, ensuring that reliable internet access is available wherever the yacht travels.
