What we handle

A proper Starlink install —
not just pointing a dish at the sky.

📡
Site Assessment & Sky View
We check for obstructions before you buy anything. Trees, rooflines, and hills will drop signal. We find the best mounting location with a clear view first.
🔩
Professional Mounting
Roof mounts, pole mounts, and wall mounts — properly anchored for Northwestern Ontario winters. Hardware rated for the conditions.
🌧️
Weatherproof Cabling
Properly routed cables with weatherproof penetrations and conduit protection — no shortcuts that leak water or fail in winter.
🔌
Network Integration
Starlink integrated into your existing network infrastructure — proper router placement, VLAN setup if needed, and no conflicts with existing equipment.
🏕️
Campground & Lodge WiFi
Complete guest WiFi systems built on Starlink — access points throughout the property, bandwidth controls, and a branded login portal for guests.
🔧
Ongoing Support
After install, we're still available for troubleshooting, equipment changes, and network adjustments — locally, not through a 1-800 number.

Why Starlink changed everything in Northwestern Ontario

Finally — high-speed internet
for remote Northwestern Ontario.

For most of the Rainy River District, high-speed internet has always meant living close to Fort Frances. Remote camps, lodges, farms, off-grid cabins, and First Nations communities with no fibre or reliable wireless coverage had no good options. DSL speeds were slow. Cellular data was expensive and capped. Satellite (HughesNet, Xplornet) had high latency that made video calls impossible.

Starlink changed that. With download speeds typically between 50–200 Mbps and low latency, it's real broadband — good enough for video calls, cloud software, remote monitoring, and streaming. For fishing lodges and campgrounds, it means you can offer proper guest WiFi. For remote workers and First Nations communities, it means reliable access that wasn't possible five years ago.

We've done professional Starlink installs across the Rainy River District — from businesses in Fort Frances to fishing lodges on Rainy Lake to farms far outside town. The difference between a proper install and a DIY setup is consistent performance — correct dish placement to avoid signal drops, clean cable runs that last through winter, and proper integration with your network.

🛰️
Starlink for campgrounds and lodges. We build complete guest WiFi systems using Starlink as the upstream connection — including outdoor-rated access points across your property, bandwidth controls so one guest doesn't saturate the connection, and a captive portal for guest sign-in. Your business network stays separate.

Why does Starlink installation need to be done professionally?
