With Starlink Satellite Internet now officially available & approved for use in UAE (previously you had to go to Oman to activate and use the roaming feature in UAE), what do the Gadget Afficionados @Frederic @Luke K P @ChrisW think of using it for?
My overlanding friend who installed it on his sunroof has used it for Work Anywhere (especially in this Work-from-Home times) and watching live football while camping in Al Quaa or Liwa (both in areas with no cell coverage).
Satellite Phone is not included yet, but I'm guessing using VOIP approved app like Botim + Satellite Internet, you can potentially make phone calls from anywhere...
List of use cases related to Offroading & Convoy Management:
If Lead has Starlink, he can make VOIP calls using Botim to call another Lead or Support for advice, help or relay emergency call to 999.
Unlimited Map Coverage: yes we know we can download offline maps, but having constant Internet means goodbye to downloading offline maps 24 hours before driving
If management uses MS-Teams or Slack as backbone of communication platform, potentially can have MS-Teams & Slack conference calls during breaks or after setting up tents for group updates.
Live Streaming of drives via YouTube / TikTok / Instagram. *tongue in cheek 😜
Other use case?
