The Obstructions Test result showed a “Good experience” for streaming, browsing, video calls, and gaming. This suggests that the location is well-suited for installing and positioning the Starlink dish.

The Starlink dish was installed on an existing pole using the Standard pipe adapter mount. This method allows the dish to achieve an optimal line of sight for satellite connectivity, minimizing obstructions and maximizing signal strength. The use of the adapter mount made the installation straightforward, leveraging existing infrastructure without the need for additional mounting hardware or modifications.

The team performed the Starlink Alignment Test to ensure the dish was accurately aligned for optimal satellite connectivity. This involved verifying the dish’s orientation and position to achieve an unobstructed sky view and maximize signal strength. The test checks for potential obstructions, such as trees or buildings, and ensures that the dish’s azimuth (horizontal bearing) and elevation angles are correctly set.

Finally, the team performed the Starlink Speed Test twenty minutes after the installation to assess the internet connection’s overall quality. We also requested the customer to perform another Starlink speed test (basic and advanced) after a few hours. It is important to note that Starlink may sometimes take up to 12 hours to sync.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Palmer, AK

Palmer, Alaska, is a small city in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, known for its agricultural history. It is mainly a hub for farming and produce, especially vegetables like potatoes and carrots, which thrive on the long summer days. Palmer also has a deep history, incorporating native cultures with early Russian settlers and an increasing population drawn to the scenic beauty and recreational opportunities here, including hiking, fishing, and winter sports. The surrounding landscape presents dramatic views of the Chugach Mountains, and its economy depends on tourism and local industries.

Despite Palmer’s undeniable charm, the city struggles with significant connectivity challenges. Alaska’s remote location and sparse population make traditional broadband internet challenging and costly to deliver. For many residents and businesses, satellite internet has become a vital solution, and Starlink, developed by SpaceX, is leading the charge. Starlink is a game-changer for Palmer, offering high-speed internet with low latency, where other providers often deliver unreliable or limited service. For many, Starlink is not just a luxury but a necessity—enabling remote work, education, and staying connected during the long, dark winter months when other options are unavailable.
