The hardware costs $2,500 with an internet subscription fee of $135 per month, without a contract. “The hardware is designed for a permanent installation on your vehicle and is resilient in harsh environments,” said SpaceX. The flat antenna can be installed on the roof of an RV to use it while cruising. “Works on any moving land object,” said SpaceX founder Elon Musk via Twitter.
SpaceX also has a standard Starlink for RV antenna that has a tripod for a lower cost of $599, however, it is not designed to be used while in motion. “The Standard Starlink is designed for portable use at any destination where Starlink has active coverage. With an easy setup and break down, Starlink delivers high-speed, low latency internet access within minutes, and packs up quickly when it’s time to move to your next destination,” the company stated.
