Blockstream Satellite Base Station

The Blockstream Satellite Base Station offers a convenient, all-in-one antenna that supports connections to up to eight Bitcoin nodes on the same network. Users can connect to our network of satellites and access the Bitcoin blockchain without internet or any additional hardware. 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.
