SpaceX's New FCC Filing Requests to Operate Starlink 'In Moving Vehicl

  > The service is currently limited to a specific region and address, the dish antenna cannot be moved far from the specific user location to receive connection. “Your Starlink is assigned to a single cell,” the company says, “If you move your Starlink outside of its assigned cell, a satellite will not be scheduled to serve your Starlink and you will not receive internet.” Does anyone know the size of these cells?

    No idea how accurate this is, but it apparently shows all the cells, https://sebsebmc.github.io/starlink-coverage/index.html https://sebsebmc.github.io/starlink-coverage/index.html

      Thanks. I dug around for the answer I was looking at. > Each cell covers 324.29km^2 on average. https://github.com/sebsebmc/starlink-coverage https://github.com/sebsebmc/starlink-coverage

  This is great news for RV/van life people who can work remotely. Moving from cell to cell (although using it while actually moving would be pretty nifty, too!) and more coverage in the south is really the missing link for me to take a few years off and travel extensively.
