Starlink is revolutionising connectivity — but can it deliver the reliability needed for critical business functions like remote operations, security, or cloud-based systems?
Understanding Latency Needs
For most applications — VoIP, live camera feeds, and cloud logins — latency under 100ms is acceptable. Starlink typically performs at 25–50ms, putting it in the viable range. However, performance may vary based on:
- Network congestion
- Physical obstructions
- Weather impact
Business Risks to Consider
While speed is impressive, Starlink’s still-developing infrastructure has occasional dropouts. For companies depending on always-on VPNs or uptime SLAs, relying solely on Starlink can be risky.
Netcelero’s Recommendation
Pair Starlink with cellular or fibre for a multi-path network. Our devices manage connections dynamically — always routing traffic through the most stable line and providing:
- Static IP over cellular
- Encrypted secure access
- Proactive diagnostics and alerts
