You obviously live in a tech bubble. Remote industrial machine control definitely has concerns around guaranteed latency.
- lmm 3y agoIf your concern is guaranteed latency you'll choose a consistent +10ms rather than a link that goes down whenever it rains. I very much doubt there are any cases for remote industrial machine control where microwaves are the better option.

Because Starlink definitely goes down during a storm occasionally but a dedicated microwave link with high gain parabolic dishes won’t in the same conditions. > I very much doubt there are any cases for remote industrial machine control where microwaves are the better option. Oil and gas industry would beg to differ.
