Starlink by Elon Musk is certainly making an accelerating advancement in the world of communication. Satellite-based technology has made rapid growth in the past year 2020.
This growth was so rapid, that the company promised to work on making the technology portable by the end of 2021 to encourage more access.
Though not global yet, starlink is gradually conquering the communication market. Already serving over 10000 people, the company has only grown since then.
Does Weather Affect Starlink Usage?
The most popular queries about starlink have to do with its weather reliability. Satellite networks have been known to have the demerit of being tilted by bad weather.
Per Starlink’s FAQ, the receiver has the ability to melt snow that lands on it, but it cannot do anything about surrounding snow build-up and other obstructions which are likely to block its line of sight to the satellite. Due to that, it is recommended that Starlink is installed in a location without any obstruction or blackout, and definitely where there will be no snow buildup. But yes, starlink can significantly be affected by the weather if it is not installed in the right location.
