Terahertz breakthrough could make satellite as fast as fiber
- upofadown 10y agoAn interesting breakthrough, but satellite tends to be limited by available downlink power (solar cells) and/or antenna size/complexity.
- luckydude 10y agoNot to mention latency though low earth orbit would help with that (if you have a zillion satellites).
- danjoc 10y ago"The breakthrough could allow for far faster speeds for in-flight network connections, faster downloads to mobile devices, and ultrafast wireless links between base stations." It's not only for satellites, despite what the title says.
