Starlink has opened up availability of their next generation hardware, Starlink Gen 3. Now, anyone in the US can order the newest Starlink dish with select service plans. Prior to December 15th, Gen 3 was available by special invitation only. If you are interested in trying out the new Starlink dish, now is your chance to order one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen 3 hardware is limited to Roam and Business plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right now, the Gen 3 hardware option is only available for Roam and Business service plans. This includes Mobile Regional, Mobile Global, Mobile Priority, and Business (Priority). Unless you received an invitation<\/a> prior to December 15th, Gen 3 isn’t available for Residential service plans at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Starlink says that Gen 3 will be available for other service plans in the future, but did not give any specific release timeline. Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter<\/a> so you don’t miss any important updates. In my opinion, Starlink chose to offer Gen 3 with Roam because of the new kickstand design. Unlike previous generations, Gen 3 doesn’t have a mast or aiming motors. This makes it a great option for portable use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering Gen 3 to Roam users also gives Starlink a good chance to collect data about the new self-aiming process. Without motors to help align the antenna, Gen 3 users will have to manually point it, with the help of the Starlink app. Since portable use cases require a lot of setup and takedown, it will be a good test to see how self-aiming works in the real world, before expanding availability to Residential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I previously reported<\/a>, Starlink’s Gen 3 kit will not increase in price over Gen 2. The cost for the equipment is $599. For that, you get everything you need to get online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
