Speedify Provides Faster Internet Uploads and Downloads, Making Starlink a Reliable Internet Connection for Your Mosque

How Starlink Helps Mosques That Need Better Internet

Mosques use the internet for more of their community life: livestreaming the Friday khutbah and special events for elderly members and people who can’t attend, Quran classes and Islamic studies over video calls, running charity programs, and online donations and event sign-ups.

Without cable or fiber, a mosque is often stuck with slow or unsteady internet that can’t carry a video stream. A Starlink dish on the roof or in the courtyard gives the mosque enough speed to run all of it at once.

Upload speed is what a livestream depends on. Twitch, for example, recommends 4.5 Mbps of upload for a 1080p stream at 30 frames per second and 6 Mbps at 60 frames per second. Starlink covers that in normal conditions. But your Starlink dish switches satellites about every 15 seconds, and a short drop or bad weather can freeze the stream in the middle of the khutbah.

How Speedify Keeps Your Mosque’s Livestream Online on Starlink

Speedify runs on the computer that sends your livestream, or on the mosque’s router. When Starlink and 4G/5G cellular are both working, Speedify uses them at the same time, so you get more speed than either one gives you alone. When Starlink drops, Speedify moves the stream to cellular on its own, and the video keeps going. The same setup keeps synagogue livestreams online.

Speedify needs that second internet connection. With Starlink alone, Speedify can’t add speed or stop drops. If the mosque has no cellular modem, cellular sharing in Speedify lets volunteers’ phones on the mosque’s Wi-Fi share their cellular data with the streaming computer.

Speedify costs $89.99 a year for an Individual plan, or as low as $4.99 a month on a 3-year plan. Speedify also encrypts all internet traffic, which protects member details, donation records and community messages.

How to Set Up Speedify with Starlink at Your Mosque

Step 1: Install the Starlink Dish at the Mosque

Mount the Starlink dish with a clear view of the sky. Rooftops and open courtyards usually work well. Check the Starlink app for obstructions and signal before you fix the mount in place.

Step 2: Add a 4G/5G Cellular Internet Connection

Connect a 4G/5G cellular router or a USB cellular modem to the streaming computer or to the router running Speedify. That gives Speedify a second internet connection to use if Starlink drops during prayers or classes.

Step 3: Download and Run Speedify on the Streaming Computer

Download Speedify and install it on the computer that runs your livestream, or on a compatible router for the whole building. Speedify finds every internet connection and starts using them right away.

Which Mosques Get the Most from Starlink and Speedify

• Mosques in rural or underserved areas where Starlink is the best internet available
• Mosques that livestream the Friday khutbah and Ramadan programs for elderly members and people who can’t attend
• Islamic centers with online classes that need steady video calls for Quran and Islamic studies
• Mosques running donations and community programs online throughout the day
• Communities with more than one mosque where a second site receives and shares programs from the main one
