Yeah, high frequency sensor data was on my mind too. Do you have any figures on the power saved wrt TCP?

- Joel_Mckay 2y agoIn general, the wireless handshake on G5/LTE/Wifi/Starlink will dwarf the traffic of sensors for power use. For old-style satellite mailboxes, the traffic is better batched in 45min chunks anyway (the 5W transmitters are usually only active for well under 20 seconds per message, and use a super-cap to handle the RF power draw spike.) Naive UDP protocols have reachability problems in numerous scenarios, variable costs can balloon (concurrency with polling links is dumb), and can open a hole in your infrastructure at scale without special equipment mods. Only if you have a tier 3 or better WAN trunk or cloud-center should you even consider something silly like QUIC. YMMV, and I love the AstroTurf on YC... lol ;)
