The New Starlink Mini Antenna Has Been Approved by Anatel and Promises to Revolutionize Internet Access in Brazil, Providing Access to People in Remote Areas.
The Starlink Mini, new satellite internet antenna from Elon Musk’s company, has been approved by Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) and is now cleared for commercialization in Brazil.
The compact model emerges as a more practical and portable alternative for providing high-speed internet to remote locations, trips, or homes with limited space.
What Is the Starlink Mini and What Are Its Advantages?
The Starlink Mini is a smaller version of the traditional Starlink antenna, focused on mobility. Its dimensions are 30 x 25 x 3.8 cm, weighing only 0.9 kg.

The 17-meter, 20-ton monster that the US built in 1939 to dominate Antarctica — and that could only move by driving in reverse: the Snow Cruiser cost US$150,000 and was abandoned forever.

A bus that crosses an underwater tunnel in Havana Bay has become Cuba’s most essential means of transport during the worst fuel crisis in decades; the Ciclobús carries 2,000 people a day with their bicycles and electric motorcycles because gasoline has been rationed to 20 liters per vehicle.
This represents a significant reduction compared to the second generation of the standard antenna, which measures 50 x 30 x 24 cm and weighs 4.2 kg.
With this size, the new antenna can be easily placed in backpacks, bags, or suitcases, making it ideal for travelers, adventurers, and professionals who need to move frequently but do not want to compromise on a quality connection.

What Are the Technical Specifications of the Starlink Mini?
According to documents from Anatel, the approved model is the UTA-231, designed for outdoor use and resistant to adverse weather conditions.
It can operate in temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 50 °C, with humidity levels of up to 90% — features that ensure robustness even in extreme environments.
The antenna supports the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard and includes 3×3 MIMO technology, allowing multiple simultaneous connections with increased stability and transmission speed.
The Starlink Mini comes with an external power supply with a wired connection, reinforcing the reliability of the connection, even in areas with interference.
What Is the Price of the Starlink Mini and How Does the Plan Work?
In Brazil, the Starlink Mini will be part of the Travel Plan, which costs R$ 576 per month. This price includes unlimited internet with coverage across the entire national territory, without bandwidth or speed limitations.
This is an important advantage for those in areas without traditional telecommunications infrastructure.
Unlike other countries, Brazil will not have, for now, the version of the Travel Plan with a limited quota of 50 GB.
Additionally, the company offers a residential plan, with the standard antenna, for R$ 236 per month, also with unlimited data.
Will the Antenna Be Manufactured in Brazil?
No. According to information registered with Anatel, the Starlink Mini units sold in Brazil will be produced in factories located in Texas and California, in the United States.
Still, the approval from the Brazilian agency is a crucial step for the import and regular sale of the equipment here.
When Will the Starlink Mini Be Available in Brazil?
Despite the completed approval, Starlink has not yet announced an official date for the start of sales of the Mini version in Brazil.
With Anatel’s approval, the expectation is that the launch will happen soon, especially given the growing interest in satellite internet solutions in rural, remote areas and during travel.
