Starlink offers 'Starlink for RV' that allows you to use the Internet from anywhere. This Starlink for RV is designed so that antennas that are easy to assemble and disassemble are distributed, and you can immediately install the antenna and connect to the Internet on the go. If you move to an area where you can use Starlink by car, you will be able to connect to the Internet.

However, until now, Starlink for RV could not access the Internet because the antenna could not be installed while moving.

The flat high-performance Starlink dish was announced there. The actual antenna is as follows. It is supposed to be permanently installed in the vehicle, and it is said that it has an inclination of about 8 degrees so that air can flow while driving, and that it has improved weather resistance.

The price of The flat high-performance Starlink dish is $ 2,500 (about 365,000 yen), more than four times that of a general antenna. And the service fee for the service 'Starlink for RV' for connecting to the Internet while moving is $ 135 per month (about 19,700 yen).
