Professional Starlink Installation Services near Shingletown, CA

Pro Starlink Installers™ completed a successful Starlink installation in Shingletown CA.

Finding a clear view of the sky and dealing with obstructions can be quite challenging when performing Starlink installation services in NorCal, especially in areas with lots of (tall) trees, foliage, nearby buildings, awkward roof structures, poles, wires, and other obstacles that can interfere with the connection between Starlink antennas/dishes and the Starlink LEO satellite constellation. Finding the right spot with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky can take some trial and error and sometimes additional mounting, safety equipment and sometimes even a lift to reach an optimal obstruction free location. This is a real-world example of a recent Starlink installation services request we received from a residential customer in NorCal, in this instance, Shingletown, CA.

Starlink Initial Offsite Assessment

Pro Starlink Installers trained and dedicated Professional Services Managers – Starlink installation SME‘s received the Starlink installation service request and immediately performed an Initial Offsite Assessment. Based on satellite map views, street views and customer supplied photos and information communicated via phone & email, it was determined that a long pole mount in the yard close to the home or possibly out back or high up ono the rooftop would offer the best options for clear signal as the building structure is surrounded by tall trees that can block signals.

FYI: we tried multiple Obstructions Tests where the old dish is located, and at that location but even higher up (to perhaps extend the existing pole once removed the old dish), but the Obstructions Tests ALL failed miserably. The thing about Starlink dish installation is you can always go higher as literally the sky is the limit.

This would require labor intensive manual trenching and using PVC or other conduit to run the Starlink cable from the building to the long pole where it would be mounted on a 10′ galvanized pole attached to the Standard Pipe Adapter mount:

Since the house and outdoor desired coverage area was also over 4500 sqft, we recommend that the customer purchase TWO additional Starlink Gen3 WiFi Mesh Routers, a Standard Pipe Adapter Mount, and a 45 meter (147ft) Starlink proprietary cable from the Starlink Shop (shop.starlink.com).

Once we all agreed that this would be the best approach and assigned our local installation expert professional Starlink Installer near Shingletown, CA. Once all the parts arrived, we scheduled the installation.

Starlink Installation

At the scheduled time, our Starlink installer arrived onsite and performed the multiple obstruction test to spot the best location for installing the Starlink.

This was the best Obstructions Test we could receive and it was taken from the highest point in the center of the rooftop by our Starlink installation pro.

It was determined while onsite that long pole mount would not work well due to terrible obstruction test results (much worse than above image). SO an audible was called and approved by the customer while onsite.

Instead, our Starlink installer worked with the customer to determine that a Ridgeline Mount to secure the Starlink dish along the highest part of the roof would deliver the best results as it is the highest, most central point we could get to given the surrounding trees without going to an extreme like installing a flagpole or up in a tree.

In fact, we were even going to put a 6′ pole extension attached to the ridgeline mount to heighten the Starlink dish, but our customer was (and we were) concerned with the high winds that NorCal experiences a regular basis, so the decision was made not to use the pole extension on top of the ridgeline mount.

This location had the least obstructions and a clear a fairly clear view of the sky. The customer also stated he planned to cut back the surrounding trees as well. This setup provides better connectivity by reducing potential interference from the trees and other obstructions.

Our professional Starlink installers routed the 45 meter Starlink cable from the roof outdoors to the indoor primary Starlink Gen3 WiFi Mesh Router, and sealed the cable entry point and used a cable drip loop to ensure water doesn’t drain from the cable into the entryway.

The Starlink Gen 3 WiFi Mesh Router installation enhances the WiFi network range and stability of the Starlink network throughout the home residential building including outdoor areas for any residence or business Starlink installation near Redding CA, especially across larger areas, creating a mesh system that connects multiple routers..

A Starlink alignment test is done to ensure that Starlink dish is optimally positioned to maintain a strong connection with the satellite. If the alignment is not ideal, the app will adjust dish angle to find the best spot.

Finally, the Starlink Internet Speed Test is done to measure the performance of the Starlink connection by providing key metrics like download speed, upload speed, and latency. And look what we’ve got!

A successful Starlink Installation in a rural or remote area like Shingletown gives the resident access to high-speed internet ranging from 120 to 300 plus Mbps, which is beneficial for streaming, video conferencing, remote work, and online gaming. Starlink uses Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, which are lower in latency and more consistent in performance. This is valuable in areas where traditional broadband infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.
