I would think that latitude distance is irrelevant and longitude distance is everything.
A ship going across the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans would have the satelites all to themselves. A ship sailing ports in the Caribbean would be in a very congested region.
Airplanes fly at a very high elevation which should allow them to access satellites covering less dense cells.
- shiftpgdn 4y agoWhat's the backhaul for those ships though? I thought point to point transmission wasn't available yet and therefore you needed to be relatively close to the backhaul point.
- Salgat 4y agoThe nice thing about these cruise ships are that they aren't using one satellite dish per user, which massively reduces transmission overhead.

There's nothing special about north south directions versus east west directions. > A ship sailing ports in the Caribbean would be in a very congested region. Congested by what exactly? Most of the countries in the Caribbean don't have Starlink.
