Reliable internet access remains a major challenge across regional, rural, and remote Australia. From outback work sites and mining operations to caravans, emergency response teams, and mobile businesses, many Australians operate well beyond the reach of NBN, fibre, or consistent 4G and 5G coverage. Starlink Roam is changing that reality. Powered by SpaceX’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network, Starlink Roam delivers high-speed, low-latency internet almost anywhere in Australia. Through Exceed ICT, businesses gain access to professionally supported Starlink Roam solutions designed for fixed, mobile, and in-motion environments.
What Is Starlink Roam?
Starlink Roam is a portable satellite internet service designed for users who need connectivity at multiple locations or while travelling. Unlike residential Starlink services, Roam allows users to move their hardware freely and pause or resume service as required.
Key features include:
- Nationwide coverage across Australia
- Month-to-month flexibility
- Portable and mobile-friendly hardware options
- Low latency compared to traditional satellite internet
When paired with Exceed ICT’s Starlink Business solutions, Starlink_Roam becomes a reliable, professionally managed connectivity platform for mobile and remote operations.
How Starlink Roam Works in Australia?
Starlink uses thousands of LEO satellites orbiting much closer to Earth than traditional satellite systems. This significantly reduces latency and improves performance for real-time applications such as video conferencing, cloud access, and VoIP.
In Australia, Starlink_Roam offers:
- Download speeds typically ranging from 30 Mbps to 150+ Mbps
- Latency averaging 25-60 ms
- Coverage across rural, remote, and offshore areas
It is important to note that Starlink_Roam operates on a de-prioritised basis compared to residential services. During peak usage periods, particularly in metropolitan or coastal areas, speeds may slow. However, performance in remote regions is often excellent due to lower congestion.
