The company believes the backpack will be popular with those who frequently carry Starlink equipment, especially those who live in mobile homes. By the way, the network began to joke that SpaceX can only do business with the sale of such backpacks, because the price is quite high 250 dollars.

However, it is worth remembering that this is not a backpack for $ 250, but a special protective bag, made in the form of a backpack, which significantly facilitates the transportation of equipment. That is why the price of the case is actually quite competitive, since its analogues on the market will cost more.

For example, a more familiar protective case designed to carry equipment Pelican 1610 Case costs 310 dollars.

By the way, for those who like high-quality solutions, there is a version of the Caseman 20911 Starlink Case, which has a special hole for installing an antenna and installing equipment. Such a case would be $409.

We will remind you that SpaceX previously officially announced Starlink Maritime – low-latency high-speed Internet. The service is focused on marine vessels. Starlink Maritime costs $10,000 and a monthly subscription will cost $5,000. According to SpaceX, data download speed will be provided at up to 350 Mbit/s near the sea.

It is worth noting that the naval dish and equipment will differ significantly from its counterparts for home use. The device is a dual high-performance terminal that can maintain communication during a strong storm at sea. Marine also received additional protection against the effects of salt water and strong winds, and can even withstand a storm (at least that’s what SpaceX claims).
