This is doable only by Starlink because they're so low. They'll have very high gain antennas on the satellite - all satellite telephony needs that, these ones are presumably extra good.
I'm more interested in Doppler and timing advance. There's only limited Doppler correction in LTE - the satellites must be compensating for it. Although actually, I suppose they're mostly moving perpendicular to the direction of signal.
- corbezzoli 3y agoIf this is doable, then why are power-hungry satellite dishes currently required to connect to Starlink?
- sethhochberg 3y agoVery, very different data throughput - when using your tiny low power handheld device, expect much higher losses and much lower signal to noise ratio. Think more “you can reliably send a a short text message” than “you can quickly load up yahoo.com”
