Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Today, I have some exciting news to share with you all. SpaceX’s Starlink internet service is expanding its reach to a new group of adventurers – backpackers!

The new Starlink Mini is a compact, DC-powered device that is perfect for those on the go. It is about the size of a thick laptop and includes the Wi-Fi router right inside the dish. Despite its smaller size, it can still deliver speeds over 100Mbps, making it a game-changer for travelers.

Elon Musk himself claims that this product will change the world and it only takes less than five minutes to set up. The Mini kit consumes less power compared to previous models, making it more energy-efficient and portable.

In the US, the Starlink Mini is an add-on to Residential plans, costing $599 for the kit and an additional $30 per month for the Mini Roam service. It provides up to 50GB of mobile data each month with the option to purchase more if needed.

While the Starlink Mini is new to the US, it is already available in countries like Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama. SpaceX plans to expand to more markets over time with the goal of making connectivity more affordable and accessible globally.
