Starlink launches vehicle-specific internet kit in Argentina

Starlink is making it easier for Argentinians to stay connected while traveling with its new Mini Car Pack. This specialized kit, priced at $299,000, is designed for vehicles, promising internet access even on remote routes or in areas with poor mobile reception.

The Mini Car Pack combines the portable Starlink Mini antenna with accessories tailored for vehicle use. A key feature is the 12V adapter, allowing direct connection to a car's power outlet, a novel addition compared to previously available antennas in the country. This simplifies installation for users who previously relied on generic adapters.

The company targets a range of users, from individual drivers to transport companies, motorhome owners, and long-distance bus operators. The kit aims to ensure continuous connectivity, supporting activities like video calls and streaming with download speeds exceeding 200 Mbps and low latency.

This launch follows a trend of Starlink antennas appearing on vehicles across Argentine routes. The official kit offers a streamlined solution, though users must also consider monthly service fees, which vary significantly. Additionally, drivers must adhere to traffic laws prohibiting objects that obstruct the driver's view, particularly on the windshield.
