Does that mean network quality will significantly go down if we shut down the stingrays? I mean when you have 5 nation states deploying a network of stingrays in DC, all trying to compete on being the relay nodes, that does add quite a lot of bandwidth.
- StudentStuff 8y agoStingrays don't add bandwidth in normal operation, as they act as a repeater. Most will have the bandwidth halving effect incurred by single transceiver mesh nodes or relay stations: http://www.strixsystems.com/products/datasheets/strixwhitepaper_multihop.pdf http://www.strixsystems.com/products/datasheets/strixwhitepa...
- AndrewKemendo 8y agoEven repeater is not really accurate. Like you say, in normal operation these systems are not working in collaboration with a wireless provider for the data passthrough/handoff. In my experience running these, it's more like the user briefly connects with a service with no connectivity and IMSI/IMEI connection logging only. So in practice it would look like briefly, usually imperceptibly, losing cell service.
