Starlink for NYC & Long Island businesses, installed and connected

A second way online for your office, shop or job site. We check your sky view, mount the dish safely, and connect it to the network you already have, so your team stays online when it matters.

Free site check · Business installs from $495 · You buy the Starlink kit and service plan directly from Starlink

Serving the five boroughs of New York City, plus Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island.

Why NYC businesses add Starlink

You own the Starlink kit and hold the Starlink account in your business's name. We're an independent IT team. We do the site check, connect Starlink to your network and firewall, and get everything up and running. Roof and wall mounting is done by a vetted local subcontractor we coordinate for you, so you have one point of contact from start to finish.

Our work is covered and insured by comprehensive General Liability, Occupational Accident and E&O Insurance.

What's included

Every business install includes:

Business installs from $495, including firewall failover setup. The site check is free.

Extras we quote: a pole to clear a bulkhead or neighbouring building, or a long cable run between the roof and your closet. If your building needs a local permit, permit fees and expediter costs are quoted separately. We'll tell you which of these apply, in writing, before you book.

Install types

MountBest forWhat to know
Non-penetrating ballast mountFlat roofs, which covers most NYC commercial buildingsSits on the roof, held in place by weights. Nothing goes through the roof membrane. Placed clear of required fire-access paths.
Wall or parapet mountBuildings where the wall or parapet clears the neighboursBolted to masonry or a parapet. Usually needs building approval and may need a local permit, which we handle through an expediter.
Pole mountClearing a bulkhead, water tank or taller neighbour, or open job sitesA short mast or ground pole. We keep it as low as the sky view allows.
Pitched-roof mountLow-rise buildings with shingled roofs, more common in the outer boroughsFixed into the roof framing and sealed. Only where the owner approves it. Quoted case by case.

Not sure which one fits? That's what the free site check is for.

Backup failover, included: keep working when the main line is down

If you already have fiber or cable, Starlink works best as a second connection into your firewall. We'll:

  1. Connect Starlink to your firewall as a second internet connection.
  2. Set it to take over automatically when the main line stops responding, and to switch back when it recovers.
  3. Test it with you by unplugging the main line.
  4. Write down how it's set up, so anyone on your team can understand it.

Failover setup is included in the install price. It works with many common business firewalls, and we'll confirm yours on the site check.

Many offices choose a smaller Starlink business data plan for backup, since it's only used when the main line is down. We'll help you pick, and you order directly from Starlink.

What we don't do

FAQ

Will Starlink work at my building?

It depends on how much open sky the dish can see. In parts of Manhattan, taller neighbours can block the view from a window or wall, so the roof is often the best spot. In much of the outer boroughs it's simpler. The site check tells you before you spend anything on an install.

Do I need my landlord's or board's permission?

Almost always, yes. Roofs and outside walls are usually shared spaces controlled by the building. We'll give you a clear description of the mount and its location to share with them.

Do I need a local permit?

Some installs do, depending on the building and where the dish goes. We'll look into it during the site check. If a permit is needed, we arrange it through a permit expediter, and permit fees and expediter costs are quoted separately before you commit. Long Island permits go through the local town or village building department, and our expediter handles them. Permit fees are quoted separately.

Does anything get drilled into the roof?

On flat roofs, usually not. A weighted mount sits on top of the roof. Wall and pitched-roof mounts are fastened, and only with the owner's approval. Pitched-roof mounts are quoted case by case.

Who buys the Starlink kit and plan?

You do, directly from Starlink, in your business's name. That way you keep full control of the account and your billing. We can help you choose the kit and plan on the site check call.

Can Starlink be my backup internet?

Yes. That's one of the most common reasons businesses add it. We connect it to your firewall so it takes over if the main line goes down, and we test it with you.

How much does it cost?

The site check is free, and business installs are from $495, including firewall failover setup if you want Starlink as a backup line. Extras such as a pole or a long cable run are quoted before you book. If your building needs a permit, permit fees and expediter costs are quoted separately. The Starlink kit and monthly plan are bought directly from Starlink and billed by Starlink. See starlink.com/business for current plans.

Who does the installation?

MMI does the site check, the network and firewall setup, and gets everything up and running. A vetted local subcontractor does the roof and wall mounting. We coordinate the whole job, so you deal with one team.

Are you insured?

Yes. Our work is covered and insured by comprehensive General Liability, Occupational Accident and E&O Insurance.

Do you work outside New York City?

Yes. We serve the five boroughs plus Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Elsewhere, call us at (646) 964-6501 and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
