Alcatraz Dish Network Services-Independent Starlink Installation Company Kenya
Starlink is a satellite network developed by private spaceflight company, SpaceX, in order to provide low-cost internet to remote locations. Adishnetservices are a independent Kenyan based installation company providing Starlink Installation.
How is Starlink installed?
Once you have placed your order for your Starlink device, a member of our friendly team will be in contact with you to organise an installation appointment. Space Mesh offer a 10 day lead time from the point of order to installation depending on delivery times. However, the process does tend to only take around seven days on average.
There are multiple different ways that Starlink can be installed, depending on your personal requirements. Once you have received your Starlink device, our team will fit the dish to the outside of your property. The dish will then connect straight to your new Starlink wireless router.
If you are having an external antenna fitted, then our engineer will need to fit this to an outside wall. This is normally done with a bracket and requires four fixing holes. Our engineer will also need to drill a hole through your wall, in order to bring the cable down from the antenna. This will all be explained to you on the day and our engineer will also ensure that everything is water tight for you.
Standard installations generally take around two hours to complete. Once this has been done, your engineer will show you the system working, in order to make sure that you are satisfied with your new service.
