SpaceX is finally rolling out the option to use Starlink on moving cars through a new “Flat High Performance” dish coming this December.

The company is adding the option to Starlink RV, which previously limited the satellite internet service to stationary use, at least officially. Buying the new Flat High Performance dish will soon let customers access Starlink while driving on the road.

“With a wide field of view and enhanced GPS capabilities, the Flat High Performance Starlink can connect to more satellites, allowing for consistent connectivity on the go,” SpaceX says on the Starlink website(Opens in a new window).

Starlink's Newest Dish Works on Moving Cars, But Costs $2,500 by Michael Kan

imdb · Nov 2, 2022

We’ve seen SpaceX’s Starlink expand to boats, planes, and moving cars. But now a Canadian company is working to bring the satellite internet service to drones.

On Wednesday, an Ontario company called RDARS announced(Opens in a new window) it had successfully integrated Starlink into its drone system. The integration paves a way for an RDARS drone to connect to the internet in remote areas, where cellular access may be limited or unavailable.

“One of the main issues facing commercial drone operations is communications outside of urban areas where maintaining sufficient internet connectivity may be challenging,” RDARS says.

SpaceX’s Starlink team wrote in the email that the change was due to “a small number of users consuming unusually high amounts of data.”
