What is Starlink Business and how is it different from residential Starlink?▼
Starlink Business provides higher data priority, greater speeds and dedicated support compared to residential Starlink. For Perth and WA businesses with operational connectivity needs — particularly in remote or semi-remote locations — Starlink Business provides more reliable performance and is designed for commercial use.
What speeds can Perth and WA businesses expect from Starlink?▼
Starlink Business typically delivers download speeds of 40–220 Mbps and upload speeds of 8–25 Mbps across Western Australia, with latency of 20–40ms. This is sufficient for Microsoft 365, Teams video calls, cloud application access and general business operations. Performance varies by location and network load.
Can Starlink replace NBN for a Perth CBD business?▼
For Perth CBD and metropolitan locations with reliable NBN, Starlink is better positioned as a secondary connection for redundancy rather than a primary replacement. Its primary value for Perth businesses is in locations where fixed-line NBN is unavailable, slow or unreliable — including construction sites, remote WA locations and regional offices.
Does Starlink work with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365?▼
Yes. Starlink Business's speeds and latency are well within the requirements for Microsoft Teams video conferencing, SharePoint file access, and Microsoft 365 application use. COREWEST can optimise Quality of Service (QoS) settings on your network to prioritise Teams traffic over Starlink connections for best call quality.
Can COREWEST manage Starlink deployment across multiple WA sites?▼
Yes. COREWEST manages Starlink deployments across Perth and Western Australia — including hardware procurement, site installation, network integration, security configuration and ongoing support. For Perth construction and resources businesses with multiple active sites across WA, we coordinate multi-site Starlink deployment and management.
How quickly can Starlink be deployed at a WA remote site?▼
Starlink hardware typically ships within a few business days. Once hardware is on-site, installation and commissioning takes a few hours for a standard deployment. COREWEST can have a remote WA location operational on Starlink within a week of engagement — significantly faster than fixed-line alternatives.
