"This is why I've been trialing the a portable satellite comms unit that is a dish and Wi-Fi router all built into a small package measuring 11.75 inches by 10.2 inches and 1.45 inches thick. All you need to do is find a clear patch of sky, add power, and you're surfing the web again (or whatever the kids say these days)."
"My solution is to power the Starlink Mini dish using a power bank and a suitable USB-C to DC cable . Starlink's own specifications state that the Mini dish requires a minimum of 100W (20V/5A) power source, but also note that the dish "will not work with USB PD ratings below 65W (12-48V)," implying that a 65W USB-C power bank should be sufficient."
Satellite internet provides connectivity where Wi-Fi, cellular, or Ethernet are unavailable. The Starlink Mini is a portable satellite communications unit combining a dish and Wi‑Fi router in a compact 11.75 x 10.2 x 1.45‑inch package. The unit needs a clear view of the sky and a power source to operate. Power options include using a vehicle's 12V system (with the risk of draining the battery) or hauling a portable power station. A practical alternative is using a USB-C power bank with a USB-C-to-DC cable. Starlink specifies a minimum 100W (20V/5A), but states the dish will not work with USB PD ratings below 65W, suggesting a 65W power bank may suffice.
