Starlink for a childcare centre at Huonville.
Muddy Puddles Childcare and Early Learning runs from a purpose built centre next to the family home, two separate buildings on the same block. Both needed internet, and there was no practical way to run a cable between them.
The dish went on the house, because that roof sits higher with the clearest view of the sky, and in the Huon Valley the gum trees decide that for you. From there a point to point wireless link carries the connection across to the centre. A matched pair of directional radios, one on each roof, aimed straight at each other. It performs like a cable, without digging up ground a childcare centre would rather keep intact.
Inside, each building has a WiFi 6 access point mounted flat on the ceiling. Out of reach of little hands, no cables to pull on, and better coverage than a router on a bench. The whole property runs as one network with one WiFi name and one password, so the sign in tablet, the observation app and every staff phone just work, in either building.
No trench, no second internet service, nothing at child height.
