For Intel NUC LokalFi and Starlink Connection Diagram
The Big Picture
This diagram provides a detailed visual representation of how the Starlink satellite network interfaces with the LokalFi system through a MikroTik hAP lite router. Each port on the MikroTik router serves a specialized function, connecting different components for a seamless user experience.
Port-by-Port Breakdown
Port 1: Starlink Connection This is where global meets local. Port 1 of the MikroTik hAP lite router connects directly to the Starlink network, bringing high-speed, satellite-based internet into the LokalFi system. This connection expands the reach and reliability of the network, making internet access more accessible even in remote areas.
Port 2: Intel NUC (Main Computing Unit) Port 2 is the gateway to the 'brain' of LokalFi, the Intel NUC. This port ensures that all the fantastic apps you love on LokalFi, like LokalFlix and Kiwix, run smoothly. It manages the data and makes sure everything gets where it needs to go, swiftly and efficiently.
Port 3: Outdoor WiFi Access Point for Long-Range WiFi The third port serves as your link to the great outdoors—or at least to a broader area around you. This port connects to an outdoor WiFi access point specifically designed for long-range broadcasting. Perfect for extending LokalFi’s reach to cover larger areas, like community centers, schools, or outdoor events.
