Imagine having one connection Starlink internet and transfer it from your home to your holiday home or campsite; Now it's done.
Starlink's Internet-from-SpaceX service has become mobile, as it now has Portability. For an additional monthly fee, Starlink subscribers can now take their "dish" under their armpits and go anywhere on their home continent, as long as they active internet coverage is provided.
This opens up connectivity to remote locations that will probably never be covered by 5G. It gives you the opportunity to go on vacation to Gavdos or to climb to the top of Taygetos (as the saying goes) and to carry your internet with you.
Starlink does not yet support use while driving, but the company mentions that he is actively working on a solution for mobile vehicles, such as RVs, etc. Musk had published in the past on Twitter about trying to find a solution that can connect all the system to a car's 12V cigarette lighter and maintain connectivity. Of course, that didn't stop some vehicle owners to Try Starlink in Cars | moving, with varying degrees of success.
Power consumption is an important consideration when drawing power from battery of your vehicle. The Starlink is said to draw between 60-70W, according to the Jeff Geerling's blog, which shows an improvement over the 80-100W it consumed a year ago.
Starlink reports that users who have registered the portability service will prioritize network resources. Existing Starlink customers can add "Portability" from their account page, which is then activated immediately.
