The newly-designed dish allows users to have a permanent high-performance Starlink installation on their vehicles.
On its website, SpaceX explained that deliveries for the new flat high-performance Starlink dish can be expected by December 2022 and the new hardware is priced at $2,500 USD. That's a steep price, coming in at four times the amount customers will pay for a standard Starlink dish. Then there's the requirement to pay the Starlink RV monthly fee for in-motion use, which comes in at $135.
SpaceX says Flat High Performance is designed for those looking to have a permanent installation on their vehicle. The dish offers enhanced GPS capabilities for in-motion use, the private space firm adds. The hardware includes a Wedge Mount kit to install the dish at an eight-degree angle for water run-off. It's worth noting as well that the new dish does have improved weather resistance and a 1.7x better snow melt capability than the standard dish.
