Are these receiver sizes in the range of what Starlink expects from users? I had in mind something more like a DirectTV dish. If the consumer dish sizes are indeed smaller, how does that affect the discussion about jitter and other aspects of link quality?
- walrus01 6y agoNo not at all, I was referring to the size of equipment seen in Afghanistan for dedicated geostationary links to military facilities. The starlink cpe is indeed in the category of directv dish sized.
- runako 6y agoHow does that affect the discussion about jitter and other aspects of link quality? With only a tiny bit of the relevant subjects under my belt, I would expect the metrics to be significantly worse using a much smaller dish. But it seems like you're suggesting Starlink could achieve similar metrics on a smaller dish? I'm curious how that works. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding.
