Starlink

Definition of Starlink

Starlink is a satellite-based internet solution developed by SpaceX. It relies on a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide high-speed, low-latency, and stable connectivity — even in areas that are not covered by traditional terrestrial networks such as fiber or 4G/5G.

Unlike traditional geostationary satellites, Starlink offers an average latency of 20 to 40 ms and download speeds of up to 220 Mbps, with upload speeds reaching 25 Mbps. The service is available anywhere with a clear view of the sky.

It’s a powerful and fast alternative to ensure connectivity in so-called “white zones,” maintain business continuity, or connect temporary sites.

What is Starlink used for?

Starlink makes it possible to connect remote sites, provide backup connectivity in case of outages, or offer a temporary solution while waiting for a fiber connection — or for exceptional use cases such as activity spikes. It’s a complementary technology to existing infrastructures, ideal in situations where resilience, mobility, or rapid deployment are critical.

How to deploy Starlink?

1. Order the Starlink Business kit (dish antenna, cables, power supply) and a compatible router
2. Choose a location with a clear view of the sky (110° without obstructions)
3. Connect the antenna to the power supply and the router
4. Activate the service via the Starlink portal or via Sophia (for Sewan customers)
5. Configure the network according to your needs (static IP, firewall, monitoring)
6. Enjoy the connection: prioritized internet (compared to residential users), stable and autonomous
