I think matching in coverage, not necessarily matching in the same LEO scheme as Starlink
- friseurtermin 2y agoThe article phrases this weirdly, but they are talking about the 40,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine that Eutelsat is trying to match, not about LEO satellites.
- _fizz_buzz_ 2y agoEutelsat's oneweb subsidary currently has something over 500 satellites in LEO orbit. I think starlink has over 7000. I don't know much about all of this, but I assume if it just about covering ukraine they won't have to match the 7000 starlink satellites. The whole situation might open a opportunity for oneweb to catch up with starlink.
- ninalanyon 2y agoThe number refers to the ground terminals not satellites.
- mlindner 2y agoEutelsat already has global coverage. So coverage is also the wrong word to use.
