RVer Destination Starlink Timeline
RVers planning to head north for 2023 hopefully will see expanded coverage in Northern Canada and Alaska forecasted to start in Q1, 2023. Currently coverage stops at 57 degrees latitude which leaves out a large chunk of Northern Canada and most of Alaska with no current Starlink coverage.
The US remains pretty wide open in the West with immediate availability in large areas except for higher population cities. From Austin, TX east, a majority of the US is a waitlist with many areas saying expanding in 2023.
The availability map definitely shows that higher popular areas of the US are going to have capacity issues until the constellation grows to an adequate size to handle this capacity.
Starlink coming to more places nomads want to visit
The updated map and timeline gives nomads a glimpse at places that should support Starlink this year and places soon to come next year.
Between portability becoming official and now some exciting locations on the forecast, this could really change the way RVers and Cruisers stay connected at popular destination areas
For RVers, having Starlink work in northern Canada and Alaska will be amazing for those wanting to make the journey north, but still needing to stay connected and work along the way.
Cruisers can start enjoying going to international locations and not have to stress about staying connected with international phone and plans. Their Starlink will be able to provide them great service while outside the US.
