iridium rates compared to SpaceX are not comparable and not the same technology
- jhugo 4y agoThe data rate has very little to do with the complexity of the satellite-to-satellite links, and steering RF and optics isn't as different as you might think.
- shaklee3 4y agothat's partially true. the data rates have a lot to do with frequency reuse, which means more complicated designs. starlink is complicated in the dynamic conditions, but the beamforming is relatively simple.
