again many of us in urban areas take something for granted what is that you may ask well high speed low latency internet but if you're not those people say you live in the mountains somewhere or out in the boonies you might be stuck with something else and that's called satellite internet and that might be your only option if you've spoken to any of those people or are one of those people you'll probably know that satellite internet is generally kind of dog you're probably gonna contend with hundreds of milliseconds of latency and generally really slow speeds not to mention that many of these providers might implement data caps say only two or three hundred gigabytes if you could even hope to download that much in a month given how slow the speeds can be and for those who don't know or don't care to know latency is a measurement of time and in this context we're measuring how long it takes for a signal to go from here all the way up to the satellite and to come back fortunately our friends over at spacex and daddy elon have invented some fantastic new technology called starlink it's like satellite internet except way freaking better let's check it out this is a pretty big box like there we go macbook for scale we got some instructions right off the bat i'm guessing that icon means download something on your phone put it outside make sure it's sunny i don't think that actually matters and then go back inside run the internet cable into the box and plug the box in plug the box into the other box connect to the internet there's nothing on the back hopefully that's enough instructions for us ooh all right all right we should be expecting sort of like you know tesla spacex sort of style design cues so um hopefully the glass is invincible and uh it's very flat we got what looks like a stand here wow they actually ship everything pre-plugged in i guess it's like uh idiot proofing so we won't have any problems there i think this is the sort of wi-fi box oh there's a reset button on the bottom looks like the input and auxiliary i'm not sure if you can run two starlinks or maybe you can hook up your other backup internet connection to that i don't know or it might even just be like an out port if you like have a computer you want to hardwire into this we'll see if there's some more documentation that can tell us about that oh man actually you know what i don't like that everything's pretty plugged in this is a mess we got our satellite box here oh look they carefully color-coded them so you really can't screw this up all right what does it say on here starlink power supply ac adapter PoE injector oh cool so this operates over PoE yeah because i guess there's no power connection for this wi-fi box so this must be powered by PoE and then the actual star link itself is also just connected with like you know standard Ethernet cable so this is total 180 watts on this whole thing pretty beefy little guy there okay get that put right there pay for our wi-fi box there plug the white into the white oh man i guess with the understanding that you're going to put this on the roof you've got a lot of cable i don't even want to unwind this but this is probably like 50 100 feet at least good it doesn't look like this is 100 meters which is usually the max you can go for like cat6a but uh it's definitely a bit and we get the fun part the holy crap that dish is huge oh that's heavy too wow that is very anti-climactic it's sort of like a soft fabric material it's probably radio signal transparent i imagine this is actually sort of a dish on the inside rather than just being flat and then we've got the mount which i believe is motorized so we can't really tilt it ourselves and we just stick it in there and bam video done seal it product description it's good to minus 30 celsius or plus 40 celsius that's pretty good power supply and router restricted to indoor use only okay so you'd want to have these two boxes on the inside you can't mount them outside and then you run your your big old black cable out there cool let's plug it in look we got some lights and another light wow and addition it's not moving okay let me get the starling cap whoa it's probably gonna be confused because we're not outside i bet you can actually pop this dish off the stand like i mentioned before there is a lot of differences between starlink and traditional satellite internet most of the 2000-ish telecom satellites that currently orbit the earth operated around 22 000 miles above the earth's surface these satellites actually orbit so high that they're rotating around the same speed as the earth and they're considered geostationary meaning that they service the same area at the same time always if you thought 2000 was a lot well you got something else coming for you because spacex hopes to launch around 42 000 of their starling satellites with around a thousand currently in orbit and operation for the beta period what sets starlink apart is their satellites operate within low earth orbit at around 340 miles above the earth's surface that is way lower than 22 000 at least by my calculations at this altitude a starling satellite can complete a full orbit of the earth in around one and a half to two hours which allows them to service multiple different areas at the same time and you're never really going to have the same starling satellite in the same position all of this contributes to starlink's main advantage which is latency expected during the beta period to only be about 30 to 40 milliseconds you could totally play video games on that traditional satellite providers companies like hughesnet or exede average around 700 milliseconds of latency according to speed test intelligence i wouldn't want to be gaming on that the starlink team is even advertising that they expect the latency of a device like this to be around 16 to 19 milliseconds just by this summer that's that's better than some cable internet oh it's getting warm whoa we should probably take this thing outside before it starts yelling at us for locking it in this concrete dungeon but not before our sponsor govi gobi immersion tv backlights add multiple dynamic colors to your games and movies its colorsense camera recognizes and captures the colors on your tv and automatically applies them to your backlights they offer multiple control options including google assistant and amazon alexa support multiple lighting effects that react to music and can easily be installed on up to a 65-inch tv check the link in the description to learn more oh man there's a lot of obstructions out here so this might not actually be ideal but we're gonna try it the dish has been doing sort of some adjusting and i think that's what it's supposed to do but we're gonna go in the starlight gap and start the setup at least um says plug everything in we've already done that okay i need to sign into the network so we've made our own wi-fi name and password that's good oh it says it's connected it says we have internet although my phone still has the lte thing in the top corner so that's a little weird it says it's got good connection though the crown link is still collecting data on obstructions this usually takes about 24 hours check for obstructions so we have like a sort of ar thing where it shows you where not to put it i don't really know how i could use this information it's just sort of like a black thing all the way around installer it's nothing but sky and view i guess you're supposed to sort of put it at the angle the starlink is i'm just gonna lay it at the same angle okay well it says it's not necessarily ideal but supposedly you need 24 hours to check for obstructions but it works i have internet i'm not going to show you guys the speed test because we're actually going to test this thing out on LTT and give a better explanation of the technology behind it and their satellites and all that cool stuff but for now it's pretty damn cool apparently our latency to the fortnite oregon server is 37 milliseconds it feels like i'm just on cellular maybe maybe better than cellular actually since we're not showing you guys speed tests or latency just yet stay tuned for the full LTT video for that we figured we'd load up a LTT video and just see if it plays so i've got our latest fiber adventure video playing 1080p and 20 40 kilometers is typically working fine and requires much more expense it doesn't look like there's a 4k choice but this means that for our application that's pretty damn impressive we could use single mode but that would be really expensive and kind of stupid it looks like it's almost struggling just a little bit it's not pre-loading too much but it's playing without buffering so that's a pass in my books i guess it's safe to say that this could be a serious game changer for anybody that's out in the boonies on a mountain even if you have like an rv with a generator you could stick this thing in the back and when you get where you're going plop it on top and you've got full internet access currently during the beta our unit is actually location locked they split the continent up into little cells that are like 15 or so kilometers wide that it only sort of works there and that's where your starlink is assigned but in the future there are plans to allow full mobility of these things so man i just can't wait to see what the future brings so thanks for watching guys if you like cool high-tech stuff maybe check out the ShortCircuit i recently did on Ubiquiti's g4 ptz camera get subscribed do all that fun stuff and thanks for watching"}
