Navpod StarPod Case Only for Starlink Roam/RV Antenna - Base Not Included Boat Outfitting

StarPod housing only for Starlink Roam/RV antenna - Base not included

The StarPod by NavPod is a waterproof housing designed for permanent mounting of the Starlink Roam/RV antenna RV, usually on the hardtop or radar arch of a yacht. The StarPod case fits the Starlink UTA-212 model (dish face measuring 20.2" x 11.9" / 513 mm x 303 mm).

The NavPod SP212-H model only includes the StarPod case and is intended for installations where the case will be mounted on an existing or third-party cradle. A compatible stand must have a top mounting surface no larger than a 7.5 inch diameter circle, which is the available mounting surface on the bottom of a StarPod case.

What are the advantages of mounting a Starlink antenna in a StarPod?

StarPod protects Starlink and completely encloses the Starlink antenna in a very robust and attractive waterproof housing. Testing has proven that there is no signal degradation inside the thermoformed, acrylic-coated ABS housing.

The Starlink Roam satellite dish was originally designed for motorhomes, not for boats. Its IP54 waterproof rating is a far cry from the IP67 rating that NavPod is accustomed to in boating from the likes of Garmin, Raymarine and others. Mounting a Starlink dish inside a StarPod provides additional protection against water intrusion, just as all NavPods have done for other marine electronics for over 25 years.

How do I mount a Starlink dish inside a StarPod?

The "X" base at4 feet supplied with a Starlink Roam satellite dish is not used when mounting inside a StarPod; only the dish and attached mounting pole are used. The center pole of the Starlink dish is inserted through the center hole at the bottom of the StarPod and extends into your chosen mounting base.

The Starlink initial setup process must be completed before mounting the StarPod satellite dish inside a StarPod (refer to your Starlink setup and installation guide for this process). . One important thing to note during the setup process is to make sure the "Snow Melting" setting in the Starlink app is set to "Off" (this feature produces excess heat to prevent snow from melting). build up on a Starlink dish in winter environments, but this is unnecessary and can potentially cause overheating when the dish is mounted indoors.eur of a box).

Once the initial Starlink setup process is complete, the next step is to place the dish in a horizontal or "flat" position. position, perpendicular to the mounting post. To put the dish in this position, unplug the Starlink dish, then plug it back in and turn it on. The dish will begin to move as part of its startup process, so simply wait until it is in a horizontal position and unplug the dish. This may take a few attempts, so simply repeat as necessary until the satellite dish is off in a horizontal or "flat" position. At this point, the satellite dish can now be mounted inside the StarPod case (using the instructions and hardware included with the StarPod).

It's not possible, but it won't is not serious. When turned on inside the StarPod case, the Starlink antenna initially moves as it searches for a signal. However, when the dish hits the inside of the housing and is unable to move any further, it simply registers an obstruction and stops its movement (a feature built into the dish to prevent the motor from burning out). when placed next to a tree branch, ceiling or other obstacle). The StarLink app may alert you of the obstruction, but otherwise the antenna will continue to operate normally.

There are several methods you can find on the Internet to disable your Starlink motor to achieve a fixed position . Although these methods can be effective, it is important to note that any modificationof your Starlink antenna (drilling or cutting into the housing, disconnecting internal cables, or any disassembly) will void the product warranty.

If the Starlink antenna cannot move, how can it get a good signal?

Short answer: A Starlink antenna installed on a boat in a fixed horizontal position will get the same signal quality as a dish that is free to move and adjust its position.

Long answer: The Starlink Roam dish uses phased array technology. Rather than searching for a single satellite to point to (like older 18" and 24" satellite TV antennas), the Starlink satellite dish continually switches between different satellites every few minutes (satellites that move at very large speed and whose orbit is much lower than traditional satellites). Satellite TV and internet). When a Starlink antenna moves, it does not try toace to point to a particular satellite; heI'm just looking for a clear view of the sky. Since this dish was originally designed for RV use, the movement of the dish was designed to allow it to move away from overhead obstructions such as trees and buildings that might obstruct a view clear of the sky. While this feature makes sense for RV use, it is much less functional for boat use, where the satellite dish would almost never encounter overhead obstructions.

In testing, a Starlink antenna mounted and secured inside a StarPod achieved the same signal quality and Internet speed as a satellite dish free to roam outside a home. Neither the fixed horizontal positioning nor the housing material itself resulted in signal degradation as long as the satellite dish had a clear view of thee sky (as is usually the case on a floating vessel).

General Information:

The StarPod is manufactured by Ocean Equipment in Bend, Oregon, USA, using the same time-proven materials used to make the popular NavPods line of waterproof cases for marine electronics.

Features of all NavPods:

Structural rigidity – Gen3 improvements now include a gauge thicker ABS material coated with acrylic which improves strength and provides better structural rigidity. This thicker material allows for greater sealing.The higher the structural rigidity, the less flex there is when tightening and the more uniform the pressure on the joint. The excellent UV stability of acrylic is combined with the durability of ABS. The acrylic cap protects the ABS from UV and its potentially damaging effects on plastic.

Waterproof seal – All NavPods are manufactured with a double seal system, providing excellent sealing. an airtight seal. This seal provides the best protection for your marine electronic devices. StarPods are designed to withstand the harshest and wettest offshore sailing conditions. Gen3 improvements include a thicker silicone outer gasket with an improved flush fit. The internal Poron Microcell polyurethane gasket is now 50% thicker and is not subject to "compression" like many rubber compounds. This is important when you need to open the NavPod in the future to repair your electronic devices. The seal will continue to do its job.

Chrome Nickel Plated Stainless Steel – The company uses all 316 stainless steel hardware that comes with every NavPod. Large round head tamper-proof screws have deeper sockets to match the NavPod wrench for better holding power when tightening. Tamper-proof nickel-plated stainless steel screws provide security combined with a little style!

Commitment to quality – Navpod backs its commitment by offering a 10-year warranty on all new NavPods, including StarPod.
