A Strike Brasil has just launched, in August 2024. The new models of STK Connect Pro automotive case, specially developed for 2nd and 3rd generation Starlink antennas. This new product brings an innovative solution for those who want to have high-speed internet anywhere, with simplified installation and without the need for power converters.
What Makes STK Connect Pro Innovative?
One of the great advantages of the new STK Connect Pro is its ease of installation. Previous case models required the use of power converters, but the STK Connect Pro can be connected directly to your vehicle's 12V outlet. In other words, you'll have a quick and hassle-free installation.
In addition, the case is already equipped with an integrated WiFi modem. This ensures that all devices inside the vehicle can connect to the internet in a practical and efficient way.
STK Connect Pro for Starlink Antenna – 6-in-1 Solution
The new STK Connect Pro Automotive Case It is not just an automotive mount for your Starlink Generation 2 or Generation 3 antenna. With an innovative design and features that meet the most demanding needs, it is a complete solution, bringing together in a single device several technologies that facilitate the installation and use of the Starlink antenna in automotive environments.
Below, discover the 6 main differences that make STK Connect Pro an indispensable choice for those looking for high-quality connectivity on the go.
1. Power, Power Protection and Remote Control
The STK Connect Pro is designed to be practical and efficient. With direct 12-36v power, it easily connects to your vehicle's battery or 12v connector, ensuring your Starlink antenna is always ready for use.
In addition, it has protection against electrical surges and voltage stabilization, preserving the integrity of the antenna's internal components. Another highlight is the wireless remote control, which not only makes it easier to use, but also reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, extending the system's autonomy.
2. Built-in Modem/Router
One of the most significant innovations of the STK Connect Pro is the integrated modem/router. This eliminates the need for the original Starlink modem and connection cables, simplifying the installation process.
With this functionality, space inside the vehicle is optimized, and you get a high-quality connection with less effort and fewer accessories.
3. Waterproofing and Resistance
The safety and durability of your antenna are guaranteed with the STK Connect Pro case. Made from durable, waterproof materials, this case protects the antenna from external damage and infiltration, ensuring its operation in any weather condition, whether in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to the sun. This means that your connection will remain stable and reliable, regardless of the weather conditions.
4. Fixation and Stability at High Speed
One of the biggest challenges when using a Starlink antenna in vehicles is ensuring its stability while in motion, especially at high speeds.
The STK Connect Pro solves this problem with a mounting system that uses neodymium magnets and steel plates, ensuring that the antenna remains firmly in place, even on vehicles with glass or sunroofs. This is essential to maintain a constant connection and avoid interruptions during travel.
Rotomolded plastic stands out as the most widely used material for agricultural machinery roofs due to its many advantages, such as lightness, strength, ease of cleaning and cost-effectiveness. For this reason, the combination of neodymium magnets and steel plates are also very useful for installing STK Connect Pro cases on agricultural machinery.
5. Connectivity and Network Expansion
The STK Connect Pro offers exceptional connectivity. With a waterproof RJ45 outlet and a custom cable, it allows direct connection to long-distance routers. This allows for an increase in network range of up to 500 meters.
Furthermore, it is compatible with Mesh networks, allowing for even greater network expansion and ensuring that the internet connection is available throughout the desired perimeter, whether in urban or rural areas.
6. Versatility and Optional Functions
The versatility of the STK Connect Pro is another strong point. It comes equipped with a converter that allows it to be used in residential networks, making it useful not only in vehicles, but also in homes or farms.
The included modular mounting post makes it easy to install in different locations, ensuring you have access to high-speed internet wherever you are.
High Speed Connectivity
For those using the 3rd generation Starlink antenna, the STK Connect Pro offers even more benefits. The case for this version includes an Ethernet output for an RJ45 cable, which allows for a direct connection at maximum speed.
This feature is ideal for those who need a more stable and faster connection. It is certainly the solution you need whether for work, entertainment or other activities that require high internet performance.
Compatibility Options
Currently, 3rd generation Starlink antennas are the easiest to find, being sold directly on the Starlink website.
A Strike Brasil, however, also makes STK Connect Pro available for 2nd generation antennas. We offer a solution for those who want to adapt their existing antenna or purchase a complete kit, including the antenna and case.
I Already Have a Starlink Antenna
If you already have a Starlink antenna, whether 2nd or 3rd generation, you can send the antenna to Strike Brasil, where we will install the STK Connect Pro case in a safe and professional manner. This way, you can enjoy all the benefits of a customized installation that is compatible with your equipment.
I Don't Have a Starlink Antenna
For those who do not yet have a Starlink antenna, there are two options available. You can purchase the 3rd generation antenna directly from Starlink website and send it to us to install in the STK Connect Pro case for 3rd Generation Starlink.
The other option you have is to purchase directly from Strike Brasil Store a STK Connect Pro Case for Starlink 2nd Gen, plus Starlink 2nd Gen Antenna, already installed, ready for immediate use.
Differences Between Starlink Generation 2 and Generation 3 Antennas
Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, has been constantly evolving, offering new technologies and improvements with each generation of its antennas. The main differences between the second and third generation antennas lie in:
Design and Features:
- Size and Weight: The third-generation antenna is typically larger and heavier than the second-generation antenna. This increase in size allows for a larger surface area to capture the satellite signal, which can result in a more stable and faster connection.
- Engine: The second generation antenna has a motor that allows it to move to track satellites in orbit. The third generation antenna, on the other hand, does not have an engine, which simplifies the design and makes it more resistant to adverse weather conditions.
- Material: The materials used in the construction of the antennas can also vary between generations, with the third generation possibly using more resistant and durable materials.
- Connectivity: The third-generation antenna typically offers Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, providing higher speeds and lower latency compared to the previous generation.
Performance:
- Velocity: The third-generation antenna, due to its design and technology, can offer higher and more consistent internet speeds, especially in areas with more challenging coverage.
- Latency: Latency, or the response time of the connection, can also be lower with the third-generation antenna. In fact, this is crucial for activities that require low latency, such as online gaming, live streaming and video conferencing.
- Stability: The third generation antenna, because it does not have a motor, can be more stable in adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds, which results in a more reliable connection.
