Currently the satellites don't have intersat links. There is a ground station in each geofenced region, which makes mobility difficult. I'd expect it to start working once the intersat links are functional.
- wmf 5y agoI don't think that's the issue. Starlink won't even let you move from one cell to another even when the cells are served by the same ground station. And moving from one ground station to another is no harder than handing off from one cell tower to another, which I assume was solved 30 years ago. They just aren't allowing it.
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoWhen will that be? Also how do they update hardware on a satellite? Or are there other problems keeping them from establishing intersat links for now?
- wmf 5y agoThey don't update hardware; they have to launch new satellites that have laser links.
- dboreham 5y agoYou do not need intersat links for mobility.
