Digital nomads and van-lifers can now enjoy high-speed internet anywhere in North America with the launch of SpaceX’s Starlink Mini. The compact antenna, priced at $599, offers a subscription plan ranging between $50 and $150 per month.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk highlighted the Starlink Mini in a post on X in June, stating, “I just set it up right now and am writing this post through space. Took less than 5 minutes. Easily carried in a backpack. This product will change the world.” Musk also shared speed test results showing 100Mbps download speed, 11.5Mbps upload speed, and 23ms latency.

The Regional plan, priced at $150 per month, offers unlimited mobile data, with the option to pay by the GB for in-motion use.
The device measures 16.92 x 13.14 x 3.11 inches and weighs just under 15 pounds. It operates in temperatures ranging from -22°F to 122°F and has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating.
