Hi

I want to travel with my Caravan all over the country at areas where no internet is available and was wondering if there is something like a "Satellite Internet" that works with a dish that I can setup on each campings site and get internet connection. I will get me power from Solar panels.

I am aware that Vox does have something like that with there "Yahclick" but I want to know if it is easy moveable from one caravan park to the next one day after day??
 
Would be cool to know the current options out there in SA.

This is where Startlink would probably be a solution if it was available in SA....
 
Starlink is probably the best bet, when it becomes available. Should be next year somewhere. The Yahclick dish is quite big (70-90cm) so won't be that easy to move around. Should be portable though, but I don't know how easy it will be for you to do the alignment every time you move.
 
Had a number of remote sites with Telkom satellite connections about 12 years ago. Was always a problem with setting up the alignment correctly you needed a proper signal meter as the slightest misalignment caused bad connections, unlike your dstv connection where it's not too much of an issue.

YahClick's Latency to south africa is over 1 Thousand Milliseconds Wouldn't Recommend them ;)

I don't see Starlink coming at all until they do away with BBBEE, which I doubt they would ever, so until then, Starlink refuse to give up a stake of their company for the mos. So they will purely ignore us, as there is more than enough interest around the world, without BS regulations like these.
Sad, as it would be the most ideal solution, for Fibre like Internet, while being mobile.
