Starlink has launched its satellite broadband service in Peru. The company confirmed availability on January 27, 2023.
Peru has joined Starlink's South American footprint. A satellite link could be useful for properties where extending a terrestrial network is difficult, including rural locations separated from nearby towns by challenging terrain.
That said, the Andes also illustrate a basic limitation of the installation. Satellites pass across the sky, so a mountain slope or valley wall can matter just as much as nearby trees. Customers should check the proposed dish position before deciding that an orderable address guarantees a good installation.
Check the proposed dish position for obstructions before ordering. The plans offered for an address can be checked on Starlink’s live availability map.
