Description
Users gain a unique set of advantages when running their own Bitcoin node. Each node contributes to the further decentralization and censorship resistance of the Bitcoin network, as well as giving users a higher degree of privacy by avoiding third-party servers. Included with the Blockstream Satellite Base Station:
- Low-profile flat-panel SelfSat IP22 Sat>IP Antenna (566 × 300 × 81 mm)
- Integrated DVB-S2 receiver and low-noise block downconverter (LNB)
- Gigabit PoE injector (for users without a PoE-enabled router)
- Installation bracket
The Blockstream Satellite Base Station comes in its original SelfSat packaging (no Blockstream branding). Features:
- Supports Ku-band satellites (excludes some areas of Asia Pacific)
- Dual-linear polarization for greater signal reliability
- Supports up to eight Bitcoin Satellite client nodes on the network
- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for easy network discovery and seamless connectivity
Note: The Blockstream Satellite Base Station does not support C-band transmissions, which means that users in some regions of Asia Pacific will need to opt for the Blockstream Satellite Pro Kit instead. For details of Ku-band and C-band coverage, see the coverage map or country-by-country summary of coverage. For a further breakdown between the Base Station and Pro Kit options, see the Satellite Kit Comparison. For support with setting-up and operating the base station, please contact Blockstream directly. No support by Copiaro.
