Standard data is deprioritized during network congestion, while Priority data receives higher network priority at all times. Priority data is especially important for business applications requiring consistent performance and reliability.

All Starlink Business plans are designed to support multiple concurrent users. The Mini plan supports 5-10 users, Standard Gen 3 supports 10-20 users, and Enterprise Gen 3 supports 20+ users depending on usage patterns and router configurations.

Starlink supports two IPv4 policies and always provides a public IPv6 /56 prefix:

• Default IPv4 (CGNAT) – clients receive a private IPv4 from the 100.64.0.0/10 range via DHCP.
• Public IPv4 – an optional DHCP-provided IPv4 address available to Priority, Mobile Priority, and Maritime customers.
• Static IP – not support through default Starlink configurations. Service can be accomplished through 3rd party routers and services via special setups and configurations.

No—Starlink does not offer true static IPs. IPv4 addresses are dynamically assigned, though the system tries to maintain persistence where possible. Public IPs can change if the device is moved or during system updates. IPv6 prefixes are similarly dynamic but delegated.

Starlink devices, particularly mobile ones, may receive new DHCP leases upon moving between ground stations, leading to IP changes and brief handoff interruptions. That applies even to the public IP option.

IPv4 addresses are leased every 5 minutes via DHCP, but Starlink tries to retain them for connected devices. Public IP reservations persist for up to 24 hours—even through short disconnections or reboots. After that, IPs may enter the pool for reassignment.

When using CGNAT (Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation), all inbound IPv4 ports are blocked. Additionally, outbound TCP ports 25 (SMTP) and 445 (SMB) are restricted for security best‑practices.

Starlink provides native IPv6 across all devices and service plans. Each device typically receives a /64 IPv6 prefix for WAN (via SLAAC) and a /56 IPv6 prefix for LAN (via DHCPv6‑PD).

• With CGNAT, inbound IPv4 connections are not supported directly.
• Public IP customers may host servers or connect via VPN, though the IP can still change.
• IPv6 inbound support is often more reliable.
• There is no guaranteed static IPv4, so applications should accommodate IP changes.

Public IPv4 can be enabled by submitting a ticket to Satellite Phone Store to enable the setting. Once enabled, IP assignments can be setup. IPv6 prefixes are automatically available.

Starlink publishes geolocation data and IP prefixes via the Starlink Geo IP Database, and maintains PoP (point of presence) information using platforms like PeeringDB. This enables route optimization and helps in managing latency and traffic routing.

Professional installation can be purchased through Satellite Phone Store. Contact our sales team or your representative who can facilitate the installation process. If you prefer to install on your own, our support team will ensure optimal placement and connectivity for your location.

Yes, you can upgrade your service plan at any time by contacting Satellite Phone Store.

Starlink Business typically delivers latency of 20-40ms, which is suitable for most business applications including video conferencing and cloud services.
