The demand for high-speed, reliable internet has shifted from a luxury to a necessity, yet many rural and underserved areas across the Southeast continue to face infrastructure limitations. While Starlink provides powerful satellite technology, professional installation is often the difference between average performance and optimal results.

We spoke with Andrew Zdunich, Field Operations Manager at DishNinjas, about the company's rapid expansion and commitment to delivering dependable connectivity.

Q: With the recent expansion across the Southeast, what specific regional trends are driving the massive surge in Starlink adoption?

Andrew Zdunich:

We're seeing strong migration into rural and semi-rural areas throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. Families and business owners are relocating for space, affordability, and quality of life - but internet infrastructure hasn't always kept pace.

Remote work, cloud-based operations, security systems, and streaming all require stable bandwidth. Starlink fills that availability gap. The surge we're seeing is driven by homeowners who need reliable connectivity and businesses that can't afford downtime.

Q: DishNinjas has built a reputation for handling complex installations; what are the most common technical hurdles customers face when trying to set up Starlink on their own?

Andrew Zdunich:

The biggest issue is obstruction. The Southeast has dense tree coverage, and even partial obstructions can reduce performance.

Other common challenges include:

*
Incorrect mounting location or angle

*
Improper roof penetration sealing

*
Poor cable routing that exposes wiring to weather damage

*
Underestimating the need for extended cable runs

*
Network configuration issues with mesh systems

Many homeowners assume the system will perform optimally anywhere it's placed. In reality, positioning and secure mounting are critical to long-term reliability.

Q: As the Field Operations Manager, how do you maintain consistent service quality and safety standards while rapidly scaling into new geographic markets?

Andrew Zdunich:

Consistency comes from process. Every installation follows strict guidelines for mounting, sealing, cable management, and signal verification.

We train technicians specifically in satellite deployments - not just general roofing or electrical work. Each market we enter is evaluated for housing styles, weather exposure, and terrain characteristics.

Safety is also a priority. Two-story installations, asphalt shingle roofs, and coastal wind conditions require precise techniques to ensure durability and compliance.

Our goal is simple: every installation should meet the same high standard, regardless of location.

Q: Beyond simple residential setups, how is DishNinjas supporting local businesses and agricultural operations that require more robust connectivity solutions?

Andrew Zdunich:

Commercial installations often require a more advanced approach.

For small businesses and agricultural properties, we design systems that include:

*
Elevated mounting solutions for obstruction clearance

*
Hardwired Cat6 connections for offices and workstations

*
Multi-router mesh networks across large buildings

*
Structured cable management for durability

Businesses rely on stable internet for transactions, communications, security systems, and cloud software. We approach those installations with scalability and redundancy in mind.

Q: Looking at the growth of the DishNinjas brand, how has your team's specialized knowledge of the Southeast's unique terrain influenced your installation strategies?

Andrew Zdunich:

The Southeast presents specific challenges:

*
Heavy tree density

*
High humidity and rainfall

*
Hurricane exposure in coastal regions

*
Predominantly asphalt shingle roofing

*
Multi-story residential construction

We adjust mounting height, placement strategy, and cable routing based on these environmental factors. What works in one region doesn't always translate directly to another.

Regional expertise allows us to anticipate performance issues before they happen.

Q: What should customers expect from the next phase of DishNinjas' growth as satellite technology continues to evolve?

Andrew Zdunich:

Customers can expect expanded coverage, faster scheduling, and more advanced installation packages for both residential and commercial properties.

As satellite constellations grow and hardware improves, performance capabilities increase. Professional installation ensures customers actually benefit from those advancements.

Our focus remains on delivering reliable, high-performance connectivity - installed correctly the first time.

The insights shared in this discussion highlight the critical role that professional expertise plays in the successful rollout of satellite internet. While the hardware provides the potential for high-speed access, it is the precision and planning behind each installation that ensures consistent results.

As expansion continues across the Southeast, DishNinjas remains committed to bridging the digital divide for homeowners and businesses alike.
