Antena Starlink Standard

Price on request /day

Starlink Standard is a portable satellite internet system designed to provide high-speed connectivity in locations where traditional infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable. On set, it functions as a primary data backbone for file transfers, remote production workflows, cloud sync, and as a supplemental WAN source for bonded transmission systems.

For productions in Lisbon and across Portugal—especially in remote coastal, rural, or event-heavy environments—Starlink reduces dependency on congested local networks. It is not intended as a standalone live streaming solution due to brief signal interruptions, but when integrated into bonding systems (LiveU, Intinor, TVU), it significantly increases overall bandwidth stability and redundancy.
