SpaceX Starlink Providing Remote and Mobile Coverage in Australia

Western Australia Police will spend $8.5 million in Starlink equipment and internet services to provide reliable connectivity for 550 police vehicles and 129 regional police stations across the state.

WA Police have been running a 12-week trial using Starlink’s low orbit satellite technology in some of the most remote parts of the state — Balgo, Kalumburu, Jigalong, Kintore, and Burringurrah — allowing them to get reception at all times.

Police are also able to easily send livestream body-worn camera and car dashboard footage to the State Operations Command Centre in Perth.

Starlink Mobility costs US$250 per month in the USA. The Mobility service gives high speed global internet, up to 220 Mbps download, for critical in-motion applications. Starting at $250/mo with a one-time hardware fee of $2,500.

There are many RV users who have extensively adopted Starlink Mobility or Starlink ROAM.
