The price reduction of the Starlink Mini antenna expands access to satellite internet in Brazil, especially in rural areas, and marks the lowest price ever recorded by Elon Musk's company in the country.
Starlink has reduced the price of Mini kit for R$799 in Brazil and began offering the residential plan for R$164 per month during the first year, in selected areas and for a limited time.
The campaign, valid until October 29, represents the lowest price ever offered by the company in the country and expands access to satellite internet in regions with little terrestrial coverage.
Price reduction and offer conditions
O Starlink Mini kit there was a drop in relation to previous values, which varied between R$1.400 and R$1.800.

Residential subscription costs R$164 per month in the first year in eligible locations.
The promotion is available until October 29, according to the company's official statement.
The travel-focused plan continues to be available separately, with mobile coverage within the areas served by the network.
Kit structure and installation process
The Mini kit includes antenna with integrated router, power supply and installation cables.
The equipment was designed for reduced energy consumption and simplified operation.
After positioning the antenna with direct view to the sky, the system can be configured through the Starlink app, which guides the user on the best installation point.
Because it is lightweight and compact, the device can be transported to different locations.
The model is compatible with the company's mobility plan, allowing temporary use outside the registered main address.
Applications in rural and remote areas
The reduced price expands the potential for using the technology in regions without fiber optic, 4G or 5G coverage.
In the agricultural sector, high-speed internet access has been used to crop and livestock monitoring, agricultural equipment management, drone operation and connected security cameras.
In isolated locations, the connection also makes it possible video conferencing and online transactions.
Sources in the rural sector indicate that portable solutions, such as Starlink Mini, facilitate communication and monitoring of operations on remote properties.
Stable connectivity also allows for the integration of management tools and agricultural automation systems.
Reducing barriers to entry
With the new value, the initial investment required to purchase the equipment is lower than that recorded in previous offers.
This reduction can increase the number of users in small properties and rural communities.
In addition to residences, the system can serve schools, health centers and agricultural cooperatives, as long as the location has free space for installation and available electrical energy.
The autonomous antenna structure can also be used as an alternative network redundancy, in places where interruptions of terrestrial providers are recurrent.
Performance and technical requirements
According to information from Starlink, the Mini is capable of reaching speeds above 100 megabits per second, with reduced latency due to operating in low orbit.
Performance depends on factors such as satellite density, number of connected users, and atmospheric conditions.
The company recommends installing the antenna in a location without obstacles and with a wide view of the sky.
During use on the move, performance may vary.
The service is designed to maintain basic connectivity on the move, but optimal throughput occurs at fixed, line-of-sight locations.
Expansion of the constellation and coverage in Brazil
A Starlink currently has over 6.750 satellites in operation, which allows continuous coverage across all continents.
In Brazil, expansion has reached peripheral urban regions and agribusiness, considered a high potential market for the service.
The Mini kit is available for sale through the company's official website and authorized resellers.
The network uses low orbit to reduce latency and increase signal stability.
The company said it continues to add new satellites periodically to expand capacity and improve connection quality in high-demand regions.
Direct to Cell feature development
SpaceX is also moving forward with the project Starlink Direct to Cell, which aims to allow direct communication between satellites and compatible cell phones, eliminating the need for external antennas.
The service must start with text messages and data, with the possibility of expanding to voice calls in future stages.
In Brazil, implementation still depends on regulatory and technical agreements.
Considerations before acquisition
Before purchasing the kit, it is recommended to check whether the service is available at the address provided and whether the promotion is valid for the region.
Installation must be carried out in an open area, preferably elevated, without visual interference.
In places without a stable power grid, it may be necessary to use generators or solar power systems.
For professional uses, such as on agricultural properties, it is important to evaluate the bandwidth requirements and consumption profile.
Starlink indicates that the Mini serves well in applications of communication, monitoring and remote management, as long as the technical limits of each contracted plan are respected.
Current supply overview
At the moment, the Starlink Mini is sold for R$799And residential plan costs R$164 per month during the first year.
Both conditions are valid until October 29th, 2025, according to the company.
The mobile plan is still available for separate purchase.
Conditions may vary depending on the region and network capacity in each area.
The drop in price and expansion of coverage strengthen the use of satellite internet as an alternative for places without terrestrial infrastructure.
