It seems you know that for sure?  How?

I could find some approved applications at FCC and they say more
frequency bands (around 18GHz, 19GHz, 28GHz and 30GHz), but not 12GHz.
https://fcc.report/IBFS/SES-LIC-INTR2020-03068

There is a listof applications from this company to FCC, visible at
https://fcc.report/company/SpaceX-Services-Inc

One would check themm all, to find out the frequencies and the names of
the manufacturers of devices.  After that, one could see for the device
specifications.

It might also be that the end user does not talk to satellite (like
Iridium users do) but to ground stations on WiFi, which them do talk to
satellites.  At that point there would be no interest of
"IPv6-over-starlink" but a simpler "IPv6-over-WiFi-at-5GHz-in-USA".
