Keeping Businesses Connected When It Matters Most
Reliable connectivity is no longer a luxury. For retail, hospitality and quick service restaurant brands, a loss of connection can mean lost sales, disrupted operations and a poor customer experience.
As organisations continue to expand into new locations and seek greater resilience from their technology infrastructure, satellite connectivity is rapidly becoming a valuable part of the network strategy. Through our Starlink service offering, we help businesses deploy high-speed, reliable connectivity solutions that support business continuity, improve resilience and accelerate new site openings.
Our end-to-end service combines consultancy, surveying, hardware procurement, network infrastructure, engineering expertise and project management to deliver fully integrated Starlink deployments nationwide.
Services Provided
As part of our Starlink offering, we provide:
- Starlink deployment and installation

- Network and power infrastructure
- Hardware procurement
- Engineering and installation
- Site surveying
- Consultancy and technical design
The Challenge
Many businesses face connectivity challenges that traditional broadband and mobile networks cannot always solve.
Remote locations, new-build sites, motorway service areas and regions with limited mobile coverage can experience delays when waiting for traditional network connections to be installed. In some cases, the cost and complexity of laying physical cabling can be significant, causing project delays and impacting operational readiness.
Even established sites can be vulnerable to outages caused by cable failures, infrastructure issues or localised power disruptions. For businesses that depend on card payments, cloud-based applications and connected devices, downtime can quickly become costly.
Our clients needed a solution that could provide reliable connectivity, act as a backup to existing networks and offer flexibility for temporary or rapidly changing operational requirements.
The Solution
We have successfully delivered Starlink solutions for several of our clients’ estates, including installations for Chick-fil-A and Moto and trials for McDonald’s.
Each environment presented its own unique challenges. Different building designs, roof structures, cable routes and mounting requirements meant that a standard approach was not always suitable.
Working closely with our clients’ teams, we completed site surveys to identify the optimal installation locations and infrastructure requirements. Where necessary, we sourced and procured bespoke mounting brackets and installation solutions to ensure every deployment met operational and structural requirements.
Unlike many providers who focus solely on network services or physical installations, Celestra delivers the complete solution. We manage everything from hardware staging and procurement through to roof installation, network integration and firewall configuration.
This single-provider approach removes complexity, reduces project risks and ensures all elements of the deployment work seamlessly together.
What is Starlink?
Starlink is a satellite internet service that delivers high-speed connectivity through a network of low-Earth-orbit satellites.
Unlike traditional terrestrial broadband services, Starlink does not rely on extensive ground-based cabling infrastructure. This allows businesses to establish connectivity in locations where conventional network services may be slow to deploy, unreliable or commercially impractical.
The technology has become increasingly popular as both a primary connectivity solution in challenging locations and as a resilient backup service for business-critical environments.
How Businesses Benefit from Starlink
Improved Business Continuity
Because Starlink operates independently of traditional local infrastructure, it provides a highly resilient backup connection. If a primary network fails due to cable damage or local service disruption, Starlink can help businesses remain operational and continue processing transactions.
Reduced Downtime
For hospitality and retail businesses, connectivity outages can directly impact revenue. By providing an alternative connectivity path, Starlink helps minimise disruption and reduces the risk of lost sales caused by payment system failures or network outages.
Faster Site Readiness
New stores and buildings often face delays while waiting for traditional network circuits to be installed. Starlink can be deployed far more quickly, helping businesses become operational sooner and reducing project delays.
Connectivity in Challenging Locations
Areas with poor 4G or 5G coverage, remote sites and locations where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited can all benefit from Starlink connectivity.
Flexible Deployment
Starlink equipment can be relocated when business requirements change, making it a practical solution for temporary sites, events and operational environments where flexibility is required.
Event Support
Temporary venues, concert locations and event spaces can benefit from fast, dependable connectivity that supports online payments, operational systems and customer services without relying on permanent infrastructure.
A Real-World Example
We recently supported a Starlink trial for McDonald’s locations in Wales, an area known for challenging mobile coverage across certain regions.
The project demonstrated how satellite connectivity can provide a practical and reliable solution where traditional connectivity options may be limited. By leveraging our expertise in networking, infrastructure and project delivery, we were able to support the successful deployment and integration of the technology within the broader operational environment.
Why Work with Celestra?
Technology alone is only part of the solution. Successful deployment requires experience, planning and integration expertise.
We have delivered some of the UK’s largest network and infrastructure projects for leading hospitality and retail brands. (The proof is here) Our long-standing relationships with clients mean we understand their estates, their operational challenges and the importance of delivering projects with minimal disruption.
Our capabilities extend beyond simple installation. We provide:
- Comprehensive site surveys and consultancy
- Hardware procurement through trusted partners and suppliers
- Bespoke mounting and installation solutions
- Network integration and configuration support
- Project management at scale
- Nationwide engineering coverage
- End-to-end deployment from planning through to installation
While many installers can mount equipment and many network providers can supply connectivity, few organisations can deliver the complete solution. Celestra combines physical installation expertise, networking knowledge, infrastructure delivery and project management within a single service offering.
Future-Proofing Business Connectivity
As businesses become increasingly reliant on digital services, the demand for resilient and flexible connectivity continues to grow.
Starlink is transforming the way organisations think about connectivity, particularly for remote locations, new stores, temporary sites and business continuity planning. It offers a practical alternative to traditional infrastructure and provides an additional layer of resilience for critical operations.
At Celestra, we are committed to helping our clients adopt technologies that improve performance, reduce risk and support future growth. By combining innovative solutions with proven delivery expertise, we help businesses stay connected wherever they operate.
