Let AI answer the question:
“No, Starlink's Standby Mode is not designed for ocean use beyond 12 nautical miles offshore. It provides limited-speed data primarily for use on land and within territorial waters, but it does not support continuous or high-bandwidth maritime activities.
Key facts about Standby Mode for ocean use:
Limited to coastal waters: Standby Mode works in coastal and inland waterways, but your device's
GPS will enforce a geofence that disables the
service beyond approximately 12 nautical miles from shore.
Requires different plans for offshore: For offshore use beyond the 12-nautical-mile limit, you need a different
service plan, such as Roam Unlimited with "Ocean Mode" enabled or a Global Priority plan.
Not for constant use: Starlink explicitly states that Standby Mode is "not intended for constant, maritime, or high-bandwidth use".
Low speed and data: The service provides very limited speeds, typically capped at 500 Kbps, and is meant for basic needs like
emergency messaging and
email.
Attempting to use Standby Mode beyond coastal waters could lead to service interruption or suspension. The system is designed to enforce the limits of each service plan based on the dish's location“
