Our Starlink installation SMEs received a service request from the industrial site in Wilmington, NC, seeking a professional Starlink installation that can be seamlessly integrated to the existing network as a back-up or fail-over internet connection.
To assess the feasibility of the Starlink installation, our team conducted an initial offsite assessment using satellite imagery and client-provided onsite photos. This allowed us to identify potential mounting locations, detect any obstructions, and plan the optimal cable pathway. This crucial step also helped determine the necessary materials, equipment, and manpower required for the onsite installation. Below are the key findings from the offsite assessment.
🔹Property Type: Industrial warehouse
🔹Roof Type: Metal Roof
🔹Starlink Kit: Enterprise Kit
🔹Mount Option: Non-penetrating roof mount with cinder blocks
🔹Starlink Use: A backup internet connection that will integrated to the existing network
The installation proposal is developed and was approved by the customer to proceed with the Starlink installation in Wilmington, NC.
To begin the Starlink installation process, the installers conducted a Starlink obstructions test at the preferred mounting location. Using the Starlink app’s augmented reality (AR) feature and the phone’s camera, they scanned the sky from the proposed dish placement. This test identifies potential obstructions such as trees, buildings, chimneys, poles, or nearby hills and mountains that could interfere with signal reception.
Since Starlink satellites travel across the sky, the dish requires a wide, unobstructed view especially toward the north in the Northern Hemisphere. Even minor obstructions can lead to service interruptions, slower internet speeds, increased latency, and dropped video calls or downloads. Based on the result of the test shown below, “Good experience” ratings for all online activities.
The team securely fastened the Starlink dish to a pipe adapter, which was then connected to a custom non-penetrating roof mount. Weighted blocks were added to stabilize the setup, preventing wind movement while protecting the roof from any potential damage.
The Starlink cable was carefully routed from the dish down to the interior of the building, following a clean and secure path to minimize exposure and potential wear. It was then connected to the indoor location housing the business’s existing network equipment. This setup ensures seamless integration of Starlink internet into the current infrastructure, allowing the system to serve as either a primary or backup internet connection, depending on the business’s configuration.
After Starlink equipment setup, the Stalink alignment test was performed to ensure that Starlink dish is properly positioned or aligned to achieve optimal connectivity with Starlink satellite constellation.
To check the performance of the connectivity, Starlink speed test was performed. This test helps determine if your connection is functioning at optimal levels and is crucial for troubleshooting or verifying quality during and after installation. It measures the download speed, upload speed, latency (ping).
🔹Download Speed (417.86 Mbps): Excellent for streaming in 4K, video conferencing, online gaming, large file downloads and supporting multiple users.
🔹Upload Speed (26.28 Mbps): Strong for remote work tasks, video calls, cloud backups and livestreaming.
🔹Ping (31 ms): Low latency, suitable for real-time applications like online gaming and Zoom calls with minimal lag.
The Starlink installation in Wilmington, NC marks a highly successful deployment, providing exceptional internet performance to an industrial warehouse facility. The professional installation team ensured optimal dish placement, strategically mounting it on the roof to achieve maximum satellite visibility and signal strength.
