Starlink for areas with little or no coverage

In many parts of Greece, the only internet option is a slow copper line or a patchy mobile signal. For a holiday home this is a nuisance. For a business, a farm or guest accommodation it is a real obstacle. Starlink has changed that picture.

What Starlink is

Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet service. Unlike older satellite systems, which use satellites at a very high altitude, Starlink uses thousands of satellites in low orbit. The shorter distance means much lower delay (latency), which makes video calls, remote work and cloud applications possible.

The equipment is simple: a dish (antenna) placed outdoors, a Wi-Fi router and the cables. The dish talks to the satellites passing overhead and the router spreads the connection around the home or business.

Looking for a professional Starlink installation? We handle the site survey, mount, cabling and Wi-Fi anywhere in Greece.

Why it suits remote areas

• It does not depend on phone cables, fibre or mobile masts in the area.
• It only needs power and a clear view of the sky.
• Installation takes hours, not months of waiting for a new line.
• It gives speeds suitable for streaming, video calls and sending large files.
• It can also work as a backup connection (failover) in places that already have a line.

Actual speed depends on the plan, the area, the number of users in the same cell and obstructions around the dish. That is why correct placement matters so much.

Availability in Greece

Starlink is available in Greece, on the mainland and on the islands. Before you order, check the official availability map on starlink.com with your property's address. There you will also see the plans available for homes, portable use and businesses.

Before you buy equipment, download the Starlink app and use the obstruction check from the spot you have in mind for the dish. Within a few minutes you will see whether trees or buildings block the sky.

How the installation is done

1. Site survey: we find the spot with the clearest view and check obstructions with the app.
2. Mounting: we fit the dish on a solid mount, on a pitched roof, flat roof, wall or mast, so it withstands the wind.
3. Cabling: we run the cable to the router, protected from sun and moisture.
4. Setup: activation, Wi-Fi setup and, if needed, connection to the existing network.
5. Testing: speed and stability tests from the rooms where the connection will be used.

Depending on the property, the installation can be simple, on the manufacturer's base, or more involved, with a metal mount, Wi-Fi mesh for large houses or load balancing with a second line for businesses.

Real uses

CyberSpace Dynamics has installed Starlink in homes in Loutraki, Saronida and Sepolia, and in businesses such as MarsTissue SA and Select Fish SA. Needs differ: one client wants a stable connection for remote work, another a backup line so production does not stop.

• Holiday homes and houses outside the city: streaming, remote work and online classes.
• Tourist accommodation: Wi-Fi for guests in areas without a good line.
• Farms: connectivity for cameras, IoT sensors and telemetry.
• Small production units and warehouses: connectivity for ERP, invoicing and communication.

Starlink for businesses

For a business, the goal is not only speed but also continuity. Starlink can be the main connection at a remote site or the second line in an office, with automatic failover when the main line drops. With a site-to-site VPN, a remote site connects securely to the company's central network.

If you use Starlink as a backup line, test the failover by disconnecting the main connection for a few minutes. Make sure invoicing, telephony and cameras keep working.

What to consider before you decide

• The subscription is monthly and the terms of each plan are set by Starlink.
• The equipment draws power constantly, which matters in places with solar panels or a generator.
• Speed can vary with the time of day and demand in the area.
• In an apartment block, mounting on the roof may need agreement with the building management.

Closing the digital gap

Starlink lets villages, islands and rural areas work and communicate as they would in the city. CyberSpace Dynamics handles installation anywhere in Greece, from the site survey to the network setup, with packages for every need.
