Owners and operators of Cessna Caravans can now have SpaceX Starlink satcom systems installed on their aircraft, under a supplemental type certificate (STC) recently issued to AeroMech. The Starlink system can be installed by Textron Aviation service centers in North America and select international service centers. Installation takes seven to 10 working days, according to Textron Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retailing for $150,000, the Starlink kit includes the aero terminal electronically-steered antenna, which is mounted on top of the fuselage; power supply; two wireless access points; and harnessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Cessna Caravan is so versatile, it can go almost anywhere, and Textron Aviation understands the importance of providing a connectivity solution in more of the places our customers want to go,\u201d said Textron Aviation senior v-p of customer support Brian Rohloff. \u201cThe Caravan recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, and offering Starlink high-speed connectivity upgrade continues to provide customers with the latest technology, no matter where the aircraft is in its life cycle.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worldwide coverage is available from the Starlink satellite network with high-speed broadband connectivity from the nearly 8,000 satellites in low-earth orbit. According to SpaceX, download speeds range from 40 to 220 Mbps, and upload speeds range from eight to 25 Mbps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
