Choosing the Right Remote Connectivity
When deploying internet to remote or hard-to-reach locations, the decision often comes down to Starlink or 4G. Both technologies offer unique benefits – and knowing when to use one over the other (or both together) is key to ensuring reliable and resilient connectivity.
Performance Comparison
Use Case Considerations
- Starlink excels in remote locations with little to no cellular coverage, such as mountain sites or offshore operations.
- 4G is faster to deploy in urban/rural fringe areas and typically offers more stable latency.
Real-World Reliability
While Starlink performs well, it’s more prone to interruptions during poor weather or obstructions. 4G has matured to offer solid uptime — but struggles with signal blackouts in valleys or shielded buildings.
Conclusion
The best solution is often a combination of both. Netcelero’s hybrid networking devices allow businesses to combine Starlink with 4G or fibre for enhanced uptime and performance.
