I have always wanted a phased array satellite tracking antenna for my house.

Next up, a flux capacitor, I am sure.

Just saying. :wink:

I used to sell components used in phased array antennas. They would hang the big antenna off a c130 to test it. They said a c130 could lift about anything!

In my world there were different level of quality and performance, probably different now.

1. Consumer....nope

2. Commercial.....nope

3. BOTS. Best off the shelf....nope

4. Mil Spec...about a million levels there

5. S qualified....meant space qualified

6. Hardened....that was for emp

Takes a lot of metal to harden a satellite and, it's hard to get them up there when they are built with 10,000 pounds of lead.

i Read somewhere N Korea is building a city buried so far underground emp with have no affect!

I suggest we send some Chinese over with a nice bat casserole and give them the crud.

Does anyone know how long the wire is that comes with the antenna that goes from antenna to router?

From the video's I have watched I would guess it is about 100' Long. But can't find any definite information about it.

It has been measured by beta testers and it is 100 feet. It can be extended but note however if you are a beta tester that would violate the test terms.

more than 100 feet from power : Starlink

The output wattage from the POE Power Supply may not support anything longer than 100'

^^^^^^^ statement or question? ^^^^^^^^^^^

That would be a statement. The POE injector they supply may not have enough wattage for anything more than 100'

For folks who will need more than 100 feet, it would be prudent to seek solution(s) from Starlink customer support BEFORE beta sign up.
