No, Starlink can't provide you a true Public Static IP, but we at Metro Wireless can!

Overview 

A static IP is like a permanent mailing address for your internet connection— critical for:

Beefing up security & control:

  1. Only let trusted IPs through your firewalls and VPNs.
  2. Keep out unwanted access with consistent, known IPs.

Keeping things running smoothly:

  1. Host your own servers, cameras, or databases without constant fiddling.
  2. Enjoy stable VoIP calls and video meetings.

Seamless backup when things go wrong:

  1. If Starlink hiccups, your backup internet kicks in without your IP address changing.
  2. No need to mess with DNS or firewall settings in a panic.

Running multiple services like a Pro:

  1. Need separate IPs for different things like servers, point-of-sale systems, or security cameras? A /29 or /28 block makes it easy.

    🚫 DHCP (dynamic IPs) might work for home users— but businesses need stability, security, and uptime.
