Sometimes you need proper internet somewhere that simply doesn't have it. Renting a Starlink Mini from Outfitter Satellite gives you a portable, high-speed connection without purchasing hardware or committing to equipment you may only need for a few days or weeks.
Our rental service keeps things simple. Choose your dates, receive your Starlink kit ready for deployment and set it up somewhere with a clear view of the sky. The Mini combines the Starlink antenna and Wi-Fi into one compact unit, so there’s less equipment to transport and fewer pieces to worry about on location.
Whether you're heading into the wilderness, building a temporary production base or trying to keep an event connected, our team is available to help before and during your rental.
The Starlink Mini is a compact, portable satellite internet terminal designed to deliver broadband-style connectivity in places where cellular and fixed internet aren’t available. It combines an electronically steered phased-array antenna with integrated dual-band Wi-Fi, supports up to 128 connected devices, and includes a wired Ethernet connection for equipment that needs a more stable link. Depending on the service plan, location and network conditions, Starlink currently quotes mobile download speeds ranging from around 65–260 Mbps, with latency typically low enough for video calls, cloud applications, streaming and large file transfers.
Starlink Mini is at its best in places where getting online normally involves compromise.
Set it up beside your campsite and keep the family connected. Take it to a festival site where cellular networks are overloaded. Give a production crew a way to upload files from location. Or build temporary connectivity into an event without waiting for a fixed broadband line to be installed.
Unlike low-bandwidth satellite messengers and hotspots designed mainly for essential communication, Starlink provides the kind of connection that can support the online tools people actually use every day.

Starlink is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency satellite internet capable of supporting everyday online activities such as browsing, video calls, streaming and file transfers. Actual performance varies depending on your location, network demand, service conditions and the terminal's view of the sky, so a specific speed can't be guaranteed at every location.
No. The internet connection comes from the Starlink satellite network rather than a nearby cellular tower. That's exactly what makes it useful for rural and remote locations where 4G or 5G coverage is weak or unavailable.
You may still find it useful to install and familiarize yourself with the Starlink app before travelling somewhere completely off-grid.
A good view of the sky is one of the most important parts of a successful setup. Buildings, trees, mountains and other obstructions can interrupt the terminal's view of passing satellites and affect performance.
If you're camping or working on location, choose the most open spot available rather than placing the terminal directly beneath trees, vehicles or structures.
Yes. Starlink Mini includes integrated Wi-Fi, so multiple phones, tablets, laptops and other Wi-Fi devices can share the connection.
Just remember that everyone is sharing the same available bandwidth. A large group simultaneously streaming, downloading or uploading files will place more demand on the connection than a few people using email and messaging.
The device needs a reasonably clear view of the sky to connect to the Iridium satellite network. Metal roofs, cabins, buildings and other solid obstructions can block the signal, so portable units are usually best positioned outdoors or near an unobstructed area. External antenna options can also be useful for more permanent marine or vehicle setups.
Yes. Starlink isn't a battery-powered hotspot, so you'll need a suitable power source wherever you plan to use it.
That is particularly important for camping, field production and remote events. Think about your power setup at the same time as your internet setup rather than arriving at a remote location with a fully packed Starlink and nowhere to plug it in.
Starlink Mini is designed for outdoor use and has a weather-resistant construction. Rain and other weather don't automatically mean losing connectivity, although particularly severe conditions can affect satellite performance.
Your setup still matters: position the terminal securely, keep its view of the sky clear and follow the supplied operating guidance for the conditions you're working in.
They're designed for very different jobs.
Starlink is the better fit when you need broadband-style internet for things such as video calls, streaming, cloud software and larger file transfers. Iridium hotspots are much lower bandwidth, but they're designed around highly portable essential voice and data communications using the Iridium network.
If your priority is internet performance, Starlink will usually make more sense. If your priority is lightweight, essential satellite communication, an Iridium device may be the better tool.
f you only need satellite internet for a vacation, event, production, project or a few weeks away, buying equipment you won't regularly use may not make much sense.
Renting gives you access to Starlink for the period you actually need it, while Outfitter Satellite takes care of supplying the equipment and supporting you throughout your rental.
