At ProSat Networks, we commit ourselves to providing high-quality network infrastructure solutions for business requirements. Our recent project at McCall, ID, is a three-component scope of work consisting of moving POS counter cabling, installing a Starlink Standard kit, and making cross-over connections.
We successfully delivered the Starlink connectivity and network cabling project through a skilled team of professional Starlink installers and certified network technicians using specialized tools and equipment.
Service Request Overview: McCall, ID
At the business site in McCall, ID, we received the following service requests:
- Moving POS Counter Cabling – Reconfiguring network cabling and conduit to support a newly relocated warehouse counter.
- Installation of Starlink Internet – Mounting and setting up a Gen3 Starlink system to provide robust, high-speed connectivity.
- Tuning Network Cross-Connections – Patching and verification of critical network ports to maximize performance.
Our team evaluated the required equipment, tools, and manpower to execute the project. After receiving approval for the job order, we scheduled the Starlink installation and network cabling with our technicians in McCall, ID.
Service Implementation and Delivery in McCall, ID
The team arrived onsite, engaged with the customer, assessed the work area, verified needed materials and parts, and began the job order.
The scope of work consists of
- Relocate the Quad drops to the new POS counter.
- Install Starlink on the roof and coordinate with network engineers for the cutover.
- Terminate, test, and label all drops at both ends in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
- Bring all the drops/network online and confirm with Offsite POC/network engineers and local end users.
- Document work completed with photos and close-out notes.
A quad drop is a network cabling setup with four Ethernet ports (or data drops) installed in a single location. This setup typically connects multiple devices like computers, POS (Point of Sale) systems, printers, or network switches. The existing quad drop consists of four labeled network ports (A-31, A-32, A-33, A-34), each linked to a structured cabling system.
Our team moved the quad drops to the new POS counter. We then set up the Starlink Standard dish in the optimal location identified by the Obstruction Tests, where a “good experience” was achieved. We installed the dish using an adjustable mounting kit and pipe adapter mount.
We routed the cables from the Starlink Standard dish through existing conduit paths in the walls and ceilings. The Starlink Ethernet cable was terminated using the network wall plate labeled “Starlink,” which provided a clean, structured connection point for the Gen3 WiFi mesh router.
Our network engineer installed the 1-ft blue patch cords to complete cross-over connections in the MDF. One end of the blue patch cord is plugged into the patch panel port corresponding to the network drop. Then, we connected the other end to the appropriate network switch port to establish the necessary cross-over connection.
Tested and labeled all drops at both ends following the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The successful installation of the Starlink installation and network cabling project at McCall, ID, reflects ProSat Networks’ dedication to providing quality and dependable network solutions.
