Starlink and WiFi Installation Planning and Assessment

To evaluate the technical feasibility of a Starlink installation at an RV Park in Cameron, Louisiana, our Starlink Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) began with a comprehensive offsite assessment. Utilizing satellite imagery and client-provided connectivity requirements, the team gathered essential details to inform installation planning.

🔍 Offsite Assessment Summary:

• 🔹Location: Cameron, LA
• 🔹Property Type: RV Park
• 🔹Lot Size: 550 feet (L) x 120 feet (W)
• 🔹Structures on Site: No permanent office or buildings
• 🔹Capacity: 24 RV slots (expandable to 30)
• 🔹Client Requirement: WiFi coverage across the entire park
• 🔹Starlink Kit Recommended: Starlink Performance (Gen 3)
• 🔹Mounting Solution: 15 ft Pole Mount

To validate the findings, an onsite survey was conducted. The objectives of the survey were to:

• 🔹Identify the optimal installation point for the Starlink dish and the Main Distribution Frame (MDF).

• 🔹Determine the necessary parts and materials to install the Starlink Gen3 kit

• 🔹Design the appropriate WiFi network architecture (P2P or Mesh) for full-park coverage, including inside RVs and motorhomes.

• 🔹Develop a complete network design plan for review and approval by the client.

ProSat Netwoks' IT network engineers went to work on designing the network that would deliver high-speed broadband internet access via Starlink satellite and strategically extending WiFi coverage throughout the park. The project involved:

• ✅Network design
• ✅Parts selection  /procurement / transport
• ✅Starlink Performance Gen3 installation
• ✅Wireless access point provisioning (set-up)
• ✅Professional mounting of Starlink and network devices
• ✅Starlink dish alignment
• ✅Small trench for a 8ft cable run buried in PVC
• ✅Cat6 & Starlink cabling
• ✅Electrical cabling
• ✅Cable management
• ✅MDF (main distribution frame) installation / setup
• ✅Starlink activation and Gen3 Router configuration
• ✅WiFi mesh network creation and unification of WAPs (wireless access points) 
• ✅WiFi extenders as needed to ensure reliable internet for both RV park guests and staff across the entire property..

Once the site survey was completed and the client approved the proposal, we proceeded to schedule the installation, timed with the arrival of the Starlink equipment.

Onsite Project Execution

Our profesisonal Starlink installers and IT network engineers arrived onsite kick-off the installation. They performed the Starlink obstructions test on the park to verify any potential blockage on satellite signal on the planned installation points. The phases of installation were executed into three main tasks:

1. Main Distribution Frame (MDF) Installation

The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) was installed inside a customer-provided RV, strategically positioned adjacent to the designated parking slot. This location was selected for its close proximity to the primary Starlink dish installation point and its climate-controlled environment, providing stable conditions for sensitive network equipment. Inside the RV, the installation team identified an optimal area for mounting and organizing the MDF components, making efficient use of available shelving to securely house all devices. This setup now serves as the central network hub, managing the internet infrastructure and connectivity for the entire RV park.

The MDF setup included:

• 🔹Starlink Gen3 router 
• 🔹PoE switch support connectivity and power delivery to the wireless access points throughout the park.
• 🔹UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) with built-in surge protection 

This setup provides a stable and reliable core network, distributing Starlink internet efficiently across all connected locations in the RV park.

2. Starlink, Cat6 and Electrical Cabling

Two low-voltage data cables (Starlink & Cat6 cabling) were routed from the MDF to the primary outdoor pole near parking slot (n):

• 🔹Starlink proprietary cable for connecting the Performance dish
• 🔹Cat6 Ethernet cable to power and link the first (primary) wireless access point (WAP) via PoE (Power over Ethernet)

They setup outdoor-grade extension cords and electrical junction boxes for the electrical source setup.

3. Six Pole Mounts, Starlink and Wireless Access Points (WAPs) Installation

To achieve sufficient elevation and ensure clear line-of-sight above RV rooftops, threaded metal poles were assembled to reach an approximate height of 15 feet for the wireless access points (WAPs). For the primary pole, an additional extension was added to accommodate the Starlink Performance Gen3 dish, bringing the total height to approximately 20 feet. All poles were securely fastened to nearby wooden utility posts using heavy-duty zip ties and metal brackets, with concrete bases used where additional stabilization was required.

The primary WAP was installed on the extended 20-foot pole positioned adjacent to the RV housing the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). Mounted securely to an existing wooden post near an electrical outlet, this main pole supports both the Starlink Performance Gen3 dish and the primary wireless access point, serving as the core access and distribution point for the park-wide WiFi network.

The five (5) additional WAPs were strategically positioned around the park to ensure seamless WiFi coverage across the entire RV park. A total of six (6) pole-mounted WAP installations were deployed throughout the park.

4. Configuration, Optimization and Testing

The Starlink Gen3 router was activated and configured. The WiFi mesh networks were configured, one as primary WAP mesh (main), and other five as secondary WAPs. Walk around the RV park and performed speed tests on mobile and laptop devices via Starlink app and Speedtest.net.

With impressive download speeds of 77 to 380 Mbps, upload speeds of 21 to 40 Mbps, and latency from 55 to 33 ms, the Starlink connection is well-equipped to support high-demand activities such as video conferencing, OEM remote support, and large data transfers with speed and reliability.

Conclusion

The Starlink installation at the RV Park in Cameron, LA was successfully completed, delivering strong performance and full connectivity coverage as planned. Post-installation testing using both the Starlink app and Speedtest.net verified excellent performance. The Starlink app recorded speeds of 380 Mbps download, 40 Mbps upload, and 25 ms latency, while a laptop-based test returned 306.12 Mbps download and 31.11 Mbps upload, confirming strong, reliable connectivity across multiple devices. The deployed mesh WiFi network delivered seamless, high-speed coverage throughout the entire RV park—supporting streaming, video calls, remote work, and general guest use with ease. The project was completed efficiently, meeting all client expectations and providing a scalable, future-ready internet solution.

We’d also like to recognize the hardworking oil and gas professionals who call this park home. It’s an honor to support your stay with fast, reliable internet—making it easier to stay connected with loved ones and unwind with your favorite shows during your well-deserved downtime.
