You can also navigate through the interactive map of planned dish deployment at https://tinyurl.com/cccleomap, where the markers on the map are approximate to the city level, not showing the exact location of each dish.

The Grafana dashboard below shows the active dish deployment.

In partnership with external collaborators worldwide, we also have active access to more than 30 Starlink dishes in total six continents. We are in the active development of a distributed research platform open for LEO network researchers worldwide.

Research datasets

1. https://github.com/clarkzjw/LENS, https://lens-starlink.jinwei.me
We have accumulated nearly 20 TB of raw measurement data of LEO network latency measurement since 2023, and have been regularly publishing monthly snapshots to the research community. Our existing dataset snapshots uploaded on Zenodo.org have already been downloaded over 6,000 times by LEO network researchers worldwide.
With the sponsorship of Digital Research Alliance of Canada for the computing and storage infrastructure, we have revamped the dataset collection and storage pipeline. The new dataset now also includes relavant diagnostic metrics from the Starlink dish gRPC interface.
