In its bid to enhance faster and much better Internet connectivity in the West African country, Starlink, the world’s leading provider of satellite launch services and major Internet Service Provider (ISP), has raised the bar with its latest Gen 3 kit, in Nigeria.

The company disclosed this cutting-edge hardware delivers unprecedented performance and convenience, following a significant upgrade in design to meet the demands of Nigerian consumers in homes, businesses and organisations.

The new Starlink Gen 3 kit is available on e-commerce stores like Konga.com.

It is equipped with a Wi-Fi 6 chipset.

The device has also seen a significant boost in its data speed, enhanced to handle heavy data requirements.

According to Starlink, the latest upgrade is particularly, beneficial for smart homes, where multiple devices compete for bandwidth simultaneously.

It further said one of the most welcomed improvements is the built-in Ethernet port, eliminating the need for a separate adapter that previous generations required.

It also explained this integrated solution streamlines setup and reduces potential points of failure in the system .

Multi-floor buildings and large homes will appreciate the improved range and reliability of the Gen 3 kit, the company noted.

The enhanced signal strength ensures consistent connectivity throughout spacious environments, reaching areas that were previously challenging for wireless networks.

Durability remains a priority with the Gen 3’s more efficient heat management system, which substantially extends the hardware’s lifespan by reducing thermal stress.

The addition of tri-band radios delivers enhanced mesh performance. Water-resistant port covers further extend its durability, making it ideal for diverse Nigerian environments.

Caution to consumers on acquiring new Starlink Gen 3 kit

Starlink, however, urges prospective buyers to exercise caution regarding where they purchase their Starlink equipment in the country.

Starlink, in 2024, had warned against purchases from grey market vendors, as kits acquired outside approved retailers would not be activated.

The company also emphasised that customers should only obtain products from authorised sellers to ensure authenticity and compatibility.

For guaranteed authenticity and competitive pricing, shoppers are encouraged to visit Konga online, Nigeria’s leading composite e-commerce platform.

Starlink has an exclusive shop-in-shop on Konga’s shopping platform.

So, the e-commerce giant can offer these authentic kits with full manufacturer support and guarantee, ensuring optimal performance for all users.

Since January 2023, when Nigeria became the first African market to welcome Starlink, the service has rapidly grown to become a household name through its strategic partnership with TD Africa.

According to recent data from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Starlink now ranks second only to Spectranet, a 16-year-old Lagos-based ISP, in terms of market share.

The leading provider of satellite launch services is projected to top the chart by 2026.

For Nigerians seeking reliable, high-speed internet connectivity with next-generation features, the Starlink Gen 3 kit represents the pinnacle of satellite Internet technology currently available in the market.
