Digital Strada Lab #1: SpaceX Starlink v4 Field Deployment 🛰️

​Join Digital Strada for an open-air hardware deployment and field test in Timișoara.

​We are unboxing, assembling, and field-testing the new SpaceX Starlink Standard v4 kit alongside the Router Mini on a Standard Residential plan (~100 Mbps).

​We will benchmark real-world deployment speeds and measure live latency to Cloudflare and xAI (api.x.ai) endpoints to explore off-grid connectivity for software platforms, remote operations, and AI workflows.
