This is really their current service, but not strictly limited to only one location cell. So, you can use it whenever you reach your destination, but it isn’t designed to be used while you’re in motion.

- girvo 4y agoThough you absolutely can use it in motion, surprisingly, as long as you're moving in roughly a straight line (in rural areas).
- SahAssar 4y agoIs the straight line caveat because the dish tries to predict motion by extrapolation?
- girvo 4y agoTo my best guess, yep that's exactly it. Lots of weaving turns in suburban areas seems to throw it's prediction off
- Nextgrid 4y agoI can see plenty of room for improvement to optimize it even further. They could use accelerometers/gyroscopes to detect & predict "regular" movement (boats, etc) as well as current position to predict turns for land-based vehicles (from map data) so that the antenna can essentially "lead" the predicted movement (and maybe even do some magic with TCP flows to prepare them for predicted dropouts so they pick back up faster once the link is reestablished).
- SahAssar 4y agoYeah, I asked it because if that was the reason then it seems fixable.
