SpaceX is on the verge of launching the highly anticipated Starlink Mini dish.

This revolutionary device promises to transform internet availability, particularly in underserved areas.

It is set to provide satellite-based internet connectivity to people in remote locations where physical connections are impossible and mobile connections offer limited bandwidth.

The Starlink Mini is a game changer. With dimensions measuring 11.4 inches by 9.8 inches, it is significantly more compact and portable than the current 23.4-inch by 15.07-inch Starlink dish. The device is designed to fit comfortably in a backpack, providing users with unprecedented flexibility and convenience. This portability makes it an ideal companion for remote workers, travellers, and those living in isolated areas.

The integrated Wi-Fi router in the Starlink Mini supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11b/g/n/ax) and operates over the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. It features 3×3 MIMO built-in antennas, enhancing the connectivity experience. The device has only two connectors: a DC barrel for the external power source and an RJ45 network connector, allowing users to connect up to 128 devices. Weighing only 2.4 pounds (or 3.4 pounds with the kickstand and DC cable), the Starlink Mini is lightweight and easy to set up.

Since TD Africa, the leading distributor of tech products in Africa and the major distributor of Starlink products in Nigeria introduced Starlink into the Nigerian market, the company has captured the public’s interest with its ubiquitous satellite service.

The latest Internet Service Provider (ISP) data released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) showed that Elon Musk’s internet company, Starlink, has emerged as Nigeria’s third-largest ISP by subscriber number in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023

For Nigerians eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Starlink Mini, the wait is almost over. Immediately after Starlink launches the Mini, Konga, Nigeria’s leading e-commerce group and Starlink’s exclusive shop-in-shop retailer, will ensure it is available nationwide. The device will be offered on konga.com at the best prices. This partnership underscores Konga’s commitment to providing cutting-edge technology solutions at affordable prices.

Rest assured, the Mini delivers impressive performance. Based on a speed test screenshot shared by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, the Starlink Mini offers a robust 100 Mbps download speed and a respectable 11.5 Mbps upload speed with a latency of 23 ms. These capabilities are more than enough to power multiple 4K video streams, video calls, seamless voice chats, and speedy file downloads. Users can expect a seamless and high-quality internet experience, regardless of location.

For users needing to extend coverage to a broader area, the Starlink Mini is compatible with Starlink mesh, allowing it to pair wirelessly with another Starlink router. There is also an Ethernet port for those who prefer a direct connection. This versatility ensures that the Starlink Mini can adapt to various user needs and environments.

One of the most attractive aspects of the Starlink Mini is its affordability. The device is likely to be sold at half the price of the standard dish, making it accessible to a broader audience. This pricing strategy is expected to significantly boost adoption rates, particularly in Nigeria, where cost has been a barrier to accessing high-speed internet.

The launch of the Starlink Mini signifies a significant step forward in democratizing internet access. Whether you reside in a remote location, crave internet on the go, or simply yearn for a more affordable and reliable internet solution, the Starlink Mini is here to bridge the gap. With TD Africa and Konga at the helm, a brighter and more connected future awaits Nigerians

CBN Dissolves the Board and Management of Union Bank, Keystone Bank and Polaris Bank

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dissolved the Board and Management of Union Bank, Keystone Bank, and Polaris Bank.

This action became necessary due to the non-compliance of these banks and their respective boards with the provisions of Section 12(c), (f), (g), (h) of Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, 2020. The Bank's infractions vary from regulatory non-compliance, corporate governance failure, disregarding the conditions under which their licenses were granted, and involvement in activities that pose a threat to financial stability, among others.

The CBN assures the public of the safety and security of depositors' funds and remains resolute in fulfilling its mandate to uphold a safe, sound, and robust financial system in Nigeria. Our Banking system remains strong and resilient.

FG unveils National Dairy Policy to boost milk local production of milk

The Federal Government has unveiled the National Dairy Policy (2023-2028) aimed at guiding both public and private sector investors towards achieving self-sufficiency in milk production and enhancing global competitiveness.

Speaking at the official launch during the 2024 World Milk Day celebration in Abuja, the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Agribusiness and Productivity Enhancement, Dr. Kingsley Uzoma, emphasized the government’s commitment to transforming the dairy industry by addressing key challenges such as outdated breeding practices and midstream inefficiencies.



His words: “The National Dairy Policy aims to transform the dairy industry by addressing key obstacles, including the lack of modern global best practices for crossbreeding and calving, and midstream challenges.”

“Currently, Nigeria spends $1.5 billion annually on importing dairy products due to a production deficit. Nigerians consume an average of 1.6 billion litres of milk and its products, but domestic production is insufficient to meet this demand.”


Shettima highlighted significant investments by local and international firms such as Friesland Campina WAMCO and Danone’s Fan Milk.

“These companies have initiated extensive backward integration projects to boost local milk production and foster a strong market for dairy products, aiming to reduce imports and enhance food and nutritional security.

“The Federal Government will continue to support such efforts by sustaining an enabling environment for capital inflow and technology transfer,” he added

Na son una de do for here?

Una never agree Finish, you don rush summit to Mr. President

I don't actually get? Can't you people read?

NLC hasn't agreed to 60k yet?
The committee would meet daily for a week to reach a better stand.

NLC can still press on the 400k during this meeting and a favourable outcome could be considered

Now replace with more RONUs

Let me guess she is from Akwa ibom?

Not tribalistic but in Port Harcourt, they are known for things like this

40k?

gfelo:
How many shop are paying the current minimum wage?

We are not ready for this conversation. One thing you should know is while you're praying for increased minimum wage also consider the businesses affected by inflation.

If it's too high, the business might increase cost of goods and services and the cycle would continue

NeckingNgulping:
Don't accept anything less than 200k. If they don't comply, shut down the country indefinitely.

Would you pay someone 200k if you have a company that earns 500k monthly?

Minimum wage is for every business! Including that small shop in your street

Validated:
Tinubu has no place in governance. How can you recommend $35 a month for a family man?
Labour should ask him for the breakdown.


Labour should insist on $250 or N387,590. If Tinubu cannot pay, let him give way.

Haba it's not Tinubu Fault nah... He constituted a committee and your GOVERNOR is part of it.

It's your Governors that is pricing this rubbish!!

At this Point It's only the NLC that's concerned About Nigerians Welfare

A part of me actually thought they would accept bribe and succumb to any money FG proposes.

But they are really with us on this.

Thank you NLC ❤

Lol, you're defending what majority of Nigerians can't afford?

Landmark was created for the Elites! They charge 4000 USD as membership Fee. Notto mention the Exaggerated cost of literally everything.

You pay for sit, you pay for drinks, you pay gate fee, you pay for view. The only thing remaining to pay for is the Air that you breathe!!!

Somehow I thank God for the Coastal highway now we can access the shoreline for Free!!! We can easily go for a picnic at the beach.
