Tech Tip of the Day 👇

Starlink uses a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver high-speed internet with low latency, far surpassing traditional satellite services. Unlike older geostationary satellites, Starlink’s satellites orbit closer to Earth, providing faster and more reliable connections.

This technology makes Starlink an excellent choice for travelers and RV enthusiasts who often move through areas with limited or no broadband access. With its portable dish and easy setup, users can enjoy consistent internet almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky.

Whether parked in remote campsites or on the road, Starlink keeps you connected for work, entertainment, and communication.

Check out today’s video on how Starlink works, and why it might be a great option for Seniors.
