Starlink Installation Service Request Received: Oswego, IL

Our Starlink Installation Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) recently received a service request for Starlink installation in Oswego, IL.

We kick off an Initial Offsite Assessment to determine the customer’s requirements and the technical feasibility of the location for the Starlink installation. This involved analyzing satellite images, reviewing on-site photos, evaluating the roof type, and identifying possible obstructions. Then, we could determine the necessary parts, materials, mounting solutions, and manpower for a smooth installation.

Result of Initial Offsite Assessment:

• Property type: Commercial Warehouse
• Roof Type: Standing seam metal
• Starlink Equipment: The customer was assisted to order the Starlink Enterprise Kit and pivot mount
• Current Set Up: With IT network infrastructure in place with on-going setup
• Recommended for site survey visit to:
  • Check for potential obstructions at the site.
  • Determine the optimal location for the Starlink mount and dish installation based on Obstructions test result.
  • Plan the best cable path, ensuring minimal disruption, and obtain client approval.
  • Determine the floor plan and network layout, if necessary, and take relevant photos.
  • Verify the required equipments, parts and materials needed for successful one-visit installation.

After the site survey visit, our Starlink installer made the Starlink installation plan/scope of work.

The SOW (scope of work):

• Dish / Antenna Installation: Install the Starlink Enterprise dish using a pivot mount attached to a bracket for secure and stable placement.
• Router Setup: Need Starlink Gen3 router or 3rd party router onsite
• Cable Routing: Run a 50m cable from the antenna to the MDF, sealing and waterproofing any drilled holes, incorporating a drip loop for outdoor vertical cabling, securing cables to prevent tripping hazards, and following verified cable paths.
• Power Supply Installation: Mount the power supply within 1.8m (6ft) of the power source, plug in the Starlink, AC, and Ethernet cables, then slide the power supply into the mount and route the Ethernet cable to the Starlink Router or a third-party router if available.
• Starlink App: Guide the customer on how to use the Starlink App account.
• Starlink Performance Test: Test Starlink connectivity
• Installation Photos: Document the installations with photos and close-out notes.
• Other equipment needed: Lift, cable routing kit, bracket and router.

After the site survey, we submitted the job order, which was approved. We then scheduled the date and time with our Oswego, IL Starlink installers.

Starlink Installation in Oswego, IL

Our Starlink installer arrived at the site and began installing the dish at the designated location, which had been confirmed to provide a “Good experience” rating on the Starlink Obstructions Test. This rating indicated minimal signal interference, ensuring a strong and stable connection.

The Starlink dish was installed using a pivot mount firmly attached to a metal bracket to ensure stability and proper alignment. The pivot mount allows for precise adjustments, optimizing the dish’s positioning for maximum signal reception. The bracket was securely fastened to the roof surface using bolts and reinforced supports, preventing movement due to wind or external forces.

The Enterprise cable was routed from the dish, entering through a drilled hole sealed with a grommet or weatherproofing material for protection against the elements. The cable is neatly secured on the interior with cable clips, aligning vertically along the metal panel. This setup ensures a clean installation while preventing cable strain and potential damage.

Then, cables were routed securely along the existing metal framework using zip ties or fasteners within the ceiling cavity or above the drop ceiling to the MDF location.

The power supply was wall-mounted, with cables securely routed and fastened along the wall using cable clips. It is plugged into an industrial-grade electrical outlet with a metal junction box, ensuring a robust and safe connection. Excess cable length is neatly coiled and secured with Velcro straps, preventing clutter. The installation follows best practices for structured cabling, maintaining a clean and professional appearance while minimizing cable strain and potential hazards.

After plugging in the power cable and allowing the system to initialize, we accessed the Starlink app to monitor the connection status and configure the network settings.

To enhance user experience, we guided the customer through the key features of the Starlink App, including:

• Resetting their WiFi password
• Running speed tests
• Refreshing or resetting the Starlink network
• Troubleshooting common connectivity issues
• Answer customer questions that come up

Starlink Alignment & Performance Testing in Oswego, IL

Our Starlink installers conducted the Starlink alignment test using the Starlink app to confirm that the dish had a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, an essential factor for ensuring a stable connection with minimal disruptions.

Next, Speed Tests were performed after installation to assess the system’s internet performance. It is important to note that Starlink may take up to 12 hours to synchronize fully, scanning the sky and optimizing satellite connections. Temporary speed fluctuations or brief dropouts can occur, but once stabilized, it ensures a reliable high-speed connection.
