Starlink Mini is the next solution for satellite internet navigation, which will minimize the space it takes up and halve the price compared to the standard version currently available.
It was Elon Musk himself who confirmed in X the imminent arrival of the new ultra-portable and foldable antenna, which simplifies the hardware without compromising too much on performance. Is this the next step to make this service more accessible and widespread to navigate at full speed anywhere on the planet, even in deserts or in the middle of the ocean?

Amazon Project Kuiper satellite internet now competes with Starlink in Latin America
Amazon Project Kuiper will offer satellite internet services in Latin America by the middle of next year. Starlink will be its main competitor in the region.
Starlink Mini Features and Benefits
The Starlink Mini system will rest on a non-self-propelled antenna (codenamed REV MINI1_PROD2) flat and almost square in the style of a tablet and with dimensions of only 28.9 x 24.8 centimeters that are not too far from those of an A4 sheet of paper. It will have a support to place the device on a table and connection to a routerwhich should guarantee the Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11 b/g/n/AX protocol, maintaining a non-negligible performance.
Musk talks about the equipment’s potential to display several 4K videos simultaneously, with 100 mbps download and 11.5 mbps upload, with 23 milliseconds of latency. For a quick comparison, the standard Starlink goes up to 255 mbps, an increase of about 30 mbps, and a similar latency to the Mini.
According to him post At
How much will the new Mini system cost? It is assumed that it will have an approximate price of about 22 dollars (20 euros) per month for the subscription, and that the one-time cost for the hardware It will not exceed 215 dollars (200 euros).
