How badly does "weather" affect TCP latency over an LEO satellite internet pipe?
- oh_sigh 8y agoDepends on the frequencies being used. Starlink is in the ku and ka band so it will be affected by weather, especially heavy rain or snow(called rain or snow fade in the field) Standard solution to rain fade is to make sure you have a power budget and can ramp power when heavy rain starts.
- tomjakubowski 8y agoThanks! Especially thanks for the terminology, that's very helpful to look up more about it.
