It has not yet arrived in Spain, but Starlink has already changed its antenna and its router . The cost of the equipment is one of the main drawbacks of this Spacex satellite Internet service , where the antenna and the router cost 499 euros . That cost is lower than it costs SpaceX to make it , since they are selling it at a loss. The first kits cost them $ 3,000, but the last we knew is that they were already approaching $ 1,000 in cost . Now, to reduce this cost in elements such as materials or chips, they have launched a new one that occupies less size than before.

This was announced by SpaceX this week, where now new Starlink subscribers will receive a new antenna and a new router. The previous antenna model had a circular design, but now the company is using a rectangular panel antenna . The weight of this antenna goes from 7.3 kg of the previous model to only 4.2 kg in the new model. The height is somewhat lower, going from 64.5 to 61 cm. There is also a new base with four legs instead of three. The IP54 certification , and the operating temperature between -30 and +50 ºC is maintained.
