Summary
- Combining Peplink routers with Starlink connectivity enhances network reliability with seamless backup and, in some applications, improved bandwidth.
- Peplink develops features to not only supercharge Starlink performance, but also to streamline and simplify its management through InControl.
- Firmware 8.5.0 introduces two new features – GPS support over Synergy WAN and an option to “Ignore Obstruction Outages” – to enhance the Peplink and Starlink experience.
Relying on a single source of connectivity – whether it’s 5G/LTE, wired, satellite, or any other – exposes your network to potential disruptions, leaving important operations and online activities vulnerable. While Starlink offers satellite connectivity where traditional connections may be limited, pairing it with a Peplink router opens your network to enhanced reliability. With a range of features from configuration to management, you can seamlessly integrate Starlink into a complete Peplink solution for supercharged connectivity.
Supercharged Starlink Integration
As a Starlink Authorized Technology Provider, Peplink offers several benefits to combining Peplink and Starlink solutions. One key advantage is the ability to incorporate a backup connection to your primary link. SpeedFusion ensures seamless switching between connections to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. And for larger or critical deployments, multiple Starlink units can be bonded within the same network for a robust network or improved bandwidth.
In addition to a supercharged network performance, Peplink simplifies the management of both your Peplink and Starlink devices. InControl streamlines configuration, monitoring, and device management for all connected units.
Instead of needing to rely on Starlink’s router to reboot, stow or unstow your Starlink, you can do it with the click of a button from InControl. If you have multiple, sync them all up at the same time.
Additionally, you can access Starlink data through InControl’s WAN Quality Report. Rather than checking each Starlink unit individually via Starlink’s web portal or app, InControl allows you to view all your devices in one convenient place.
Enhanced Pairing with Firmware 8.5.0
With Firmware 8.5.0, Peplink introduces two new features to seamlessly integrate your Starlink with a Peplink solution. While many Peplink routers come with built-in GPS technologies, Peplink’s support over Synergy WAN allows you to leverage Starlink’s GPS features for precision tracking. Pairing Starlink with a Peplink-powered network not only provides redundancy for your operations, but also enables effective asset tracking and location-based responses. This makes it a reliable solution for mobile applications that depend on accurate positioning and mobile connectivity such as emergency response, logistics, or even construction and mining.
Building a stable network also becomes crucial for mobile applications as Starlink connectivity can be temporarily blocked by physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or even inclement weather. Firmware 8.5.0 introduces the option to “Ignore Obstruction Outages”, which prevents immediate disconnections when brief interruptions occur. Instead, the network attempts to maintain the connection, keeping it operational until it’s reconnected. This minimizes complete downtime even when signals are not always stable.
Build Your Peplink and Starlink Solution
By pairing Peplink’s capabilities with Starlink’s satellite connectivity, your network benefits from uninterrupted operations and convenient management in areas where traditional connectivity options are limited. Whether it’s for managing a mobile fleet, deploying to a remote location, or simply looking for a reliable backup solution, an integrated Peplink and Starlink solution offers the features to meet your network’s demands.
