Are you..

  • Using Starlink in locations where 4G/5G coverage exists?
  • Noticing the increasing costs of Starlink, including quota changes and roaming boundaries?
  • Managing the power consumption of Starlink onboard?
  • Turning off Starlink when not required to save power and stopping quiet quota usage from background devices using the internet for updates?

Our solutions allow you take back control of your onboard Internet while also improving connectivity options, saving power and reducing ongoing costs.

Picosense are proud suppliers of Peplink routers which are industry leading devices specifically designed to work alongside Starlink. Our Peplink solutions include a high quality 4G/5G modem with Wi-Fi 6 and provide a direct connection of the Starlink dish, removing the clunky Starlink router from the installation.

Installing the Peplink router with 4G/5G allows configuration options to prioritise an available 4G/5G connection over the Starlink connection. This means that most of the time when cruising inshore locations the Peplink is connected to the 4G/5G network rather than Starlink. If you move away from a 4G/5G coverage area than the Starlink connection comes alive and seamlessly connects, allowing you uninterrupted service, with the knowledge that when at all possible the router is connected to 4G/5G.
