SpaceX has launched Starlink Mini in Canada (via Tesla North), its compact portable internet device, making it easier for travelers, campers, and remote workers to stay connected. This is basically a smaller Starlink dish that can fit in your backpack.
Originally launched in the U.S. in June, Starlink Mini is designed to bring high-speed internet to areas where it’s typically hard to find. Hikers, campers, and those living in RVs, will now be able to get online with a compact Starlink Mini dish.
The Starlink Mini kit has debuted with special pricing of $399 CAD, discounted until January 6, and offers download speeds over 100 Mbps. It includes a WiFi router, has low power consumption, and a DC power option. Compared to the original $599 USD price, the Canadian pricing offers significant savings at launch.
This device works with Starlink’s Roam Unlimited plan, which is priced at $189 CAD per month for unlimited data, aimed at nomads and other people venturing into remote areas. There’s also a more affordable Roam plan starting at $70 CAD per month. Users can pause or resume service as needed, with billing on a monthly basis.
The best part about Starlink and Starlink Mini? Setup is dead easy: plug in the Mini, point it at the sky, and you’re online in minutes. It even works while in motion, staying connected at speeds up to 160 km/h, making it ideal for road trips or living in an RV. It’s going to be hard for rivals to catch up or match Starlink at this point.
Earlier this summer, SpaceX revealed it has over 400,000 active customers in Canada. For those in areas where traditional high speed internet is unavailable, Starlink can be life-changing as it opens doors to communication, education, business and more.
