Industrial units, business parks and farms across the Campo de Cartagena. Out here satellite is rarely the whole answer: it is one component of the network, and often the one that stops everything grinding to a halt.

Cartagena and its surrounding area present a different picture from the Alicante coast. Here the connectivity problem is rarely an isolated villa; it is usually an industrial unit on a poorly served business park, a farm in the middle of the Campo de Cartagena, or a site in the port area where laying fibre costs more than the business can justify.
The area supports intensive farming spread over a wide area: greenhouses, irrigation reservoirs, storage buildings and holdings separated by kilometres. These are places where a fixed line arrives late, badly, or with a disproportionate connection charge — and yet they contain ever more equipment that needs to be online: irrigation control, sensors, security cameras, weighbridges and traceability systems.
The pattern we find is almost always the same: the holding has an improvised mobile connection that works some of the time, and the moment you try to reach the cameras from the office or from home, it turns out to be impossible. Changing the antenna does not fix that second problem. The cause is CGNAT, and what you need is a genuine fixed public IP.

For a business, Starlink is rarely the whole answer: it is one component. The two uses that make most sense are as the primary connection where there is no reasonable alternative and, above all, as automatic backup for an existing line.
That second case is the one most often underestimated. If your operation cannot stop — a till that has to keep taking payments, a warehouse that has to keep dispatching, an access system that cannot go blind — then a second route that takes over on its own when the main one fails stops being a luxury. We configure failover so the switch is automatic and invisible, with nobody having to touch anything.

Cartagena is a port city, and that brings its own scenario: vessels, port facilities and mooring areas. Starlink's Maritime plan covers that need, but mounting hardware on a boat is a different trade — salt air, vibration, movement and DC power.

Our office is in Torrevieja, about seventy kilometres from Cartagena. We are not going to tell you we are just around the corner, because we are not.
What that means in practice: in Cartagena and the surrounding area we work by scheduled appointment, normally within the same week, rather than the same-day response we offer in the Vega Baja. In exchange, the installation is carried out by our own team — we do not subcontract — and follow-up support is mostly remote thanks to monitoring, which is what avoids most site visits. If your situation calls for immediate and repeated on-site presence, we will tell you before taking the job on.
We work by scheduled appointment, normally within the same week. We are based in Torrevieja, some 70 km away, so we do not offer the same-day response we provide in the Vega Baja, and we would rather say so plainly. Follow-up support is mostly remote thanks to monitoring, which greatly reduces the need for site visits.
It is one of the uses that makes most sense. It is set up as automatic failover: if the main line goes down, traffic moves to the satellite connection with no intervention, and returns on its own once service is restored. For operations that cannot stop — taking payments, dispatching goods, access control — it usually works out cheaper than the alternative of being at a standstill.
You will, but not with the antenna alone. Starlink runs behind CGNAT and does not provide a public IP, so by default there is no way to reach cameras, irrigation controllers or sensors from outside. We solve this with a dedicated tunnel that provides a genuine fixed public IP, and from that point remote access works just as it would on a fixed line.
Yes. A unit is usually simpler than a home because the roof is clear and high, although the mounting has to be worked out according to the roof type (metal sheet, sandwich panel, concrete) and the run of sealed cabling to the rack has to be planned. If the unit is leased, it is worth checking beforehand what the contract allows regarding rooftop installations.
Yes, the Mar Menor area falls within our coverage, including San Javier, Santiago de la Ribera, Los Alcázares and San Pedro del Pinatar. If it involves a vessel or a port facility, the approach is that of Starlink for boats, which has different mounting requirements from installations on land.
We will assess your situation and tell you frankly whether Starlink is worth it for you, whether it makes sense as a backup, or whether there is a better option.
