Starlink Site Inspection at Sapangdaku, Cebu City.
Introduction.
InstallersPH IT Solutions conducted a site inspection at a residence in Sapangdaku, Cebu City, following a client inquiry regarding the installation of a Starlink satellite internet system. As high-speed and reliable connectivity becomes increasingly essential for homes and businesses, Starlink has emerged as a powerful solution, especially for areas where traditional broadband services are either limited or unstable. This inspection aimed to assess the location’s suitability for installation and to determine whether the roof area meets Starlink’s requirements for optimal satellite reception.
Client Inquiry and Initial Assessment.
The client expressed interest in having a Starlink kit installed on the rooftop of their residence. Prior to the physical inspection, they provided a set of reference images showing the roof area and surrounding structures. These images allowed the team to conduct an initial remote evaluation before scheduling the on-site assessment.
Based on the photos, the roof appeared accessible and structurally appropriate for mounting Starlink’s satellite dish. No major obstructions were visible, which is a critical factor since Starlink relies on a clear view of the sky to maintain strong satellite communication. The absence of physical barriers increases the likelihood of achieving ideal signal quality and stable internet performance.
On-Site Inspection.
During the visit, the team carefully assessed the actual rooftop environment to validate the observations made from the images. The inspection confirmed that the roof indeed offered open visibility toward the sky, with no tall trees, buildings, or other structures obstructing potential satellite alignment. This unobstructed view is essential for Starlink’s low-earth-orbit satellites, which constantly move across the sky.
The team also examined the roof’s elevation, orientation, and mounting feasibility. Proper dish placement is necessary not only for performance but also for structural stability and long-term safety. The roof met the standard conditions required for installing the Starlink dish using either the default mount or an upgraded high-performance mount if recommended.
Technical Considerations.
In evaluating the installation site, the team also considered factors that contribute to Starlink’s performance. These include:
Signal Path Clearance; ensuring zero obstruction across the dish’s field of view.
Cable Routing; identifying the most efficient and secure route from the rooftop to the client’s router location inside the house.
Power Availability; confirming that the area where the router will be placed has stable power for continuous Starlink operation.
Weather Exposure; assessing whether the dish placement offers protection from extreme weather, although Starlink equipment is built to withstand outdoor conditions.
The inspection confirmed that the environment was favorable, and no issues were identified that would hinder installation.
Conclusion.
