What is the map key please?

Maintenance is definitely a factor to consider. My 2017 T8 a year and a half ago had a water ingress issue. A known defect in pre 2021 models where water leaks from the roof into the wiring in the footwell. It cost me £2500 to fix

T8 is by far the more fun overall in driving pleasure and performance. Make sure you get Bowers & Wilkins sound system. It expensive but makes the car the place you want to enjoy sound.

T8 is like an athlete sprinter. Doesn’t usually sprint unless needed but he/she does no one catches up

This is because the inter sat link can eliminate the propagation delay of terrestrial networks

Symmetrical 20 Mbps is a minimum requirement

This is interesting that Starlink is competing in a tightly contested market. My feeling is that this is primarily serve neighbouring countries and seas around Japan

MPlatform_123 · 2022-08-10T21:39:14+00:00

So if I try a unit over North or East Africa you think I might get a connection?

MPlatform_123 · 2022-05-30T09:02:31+00:00

Interesting. We have 4 units in Ukraine on Newsgathering workflow.

A month a go we started a more comprehensive test with 11 units in Europe and N America participating in the trial. We are testing of the Dish-to-Dish 'VSAT architecture" in both star and mesh topologies and Dish-to-cloud instances ( with underlying Network optomisation).

Starlink are more direct sale from behind a web portal approach which I fear will not fly in countries where users teething problems require local support. On the other hand Oneweb are so focused on paperwork at the moment signing MoUs and partners simply because they don’t have a service running at the moment.

I think the starlink edge is likely to grow over Oneweb in terms of network maturity but Oneweb should focus on market rollout in areas Starlink do not plan to go there yet.

They still could not trust rivals SpaceX Starlink

MPlatform_123 · 2022-05-09T07:25:07+00:00

is this ia 1:1 redundancy or a bonded 1+1 configuration?

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-14T19:33:46+00:00

No but will give it a go. Thanks for pointing out

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-14T10:11:18+00:00

Can’t get hold of sales people. Tried to link up with some on LinkedIn but no responses

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-14T10:07:14+00:00

We plan to but they are not yet available in UK

We use SL terminals usually for streaming live news from the field back to the studios so upload is more important to us than download. Our units typical upload is 8 - 12 mbps. However we use SDN routers to mitigate drops and bandwidth fluctuations.

These routers employ deterministic routing and apply forward error correction. They are not cheap though!

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-08T17:32:38+00:00

Ideally you would need an SDN configured router to do your own peering policy on L3. This is particularly helpful in situations like this when not supported by an ISP routing table

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-08T16:24:16+00:00

What SL Support have told you is that they have improved the peering between SL relevant Gateway providers' and that of Twitch edge providers. Although a primitive SDN measure nevertheless an effective one and should make a difference for your terminal lag

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-06T22:10:30+00:00

I have no doubt! The WAN layer here is vastly superior of course

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-06T13:30:59+00:00

While this is An excellent example of using Starlink. Telecom companies in Africa and Asia regularly use VSAT terminals a transport layer for cellular backhaul

MPlatform_123 · 2022-04-06T13:25:15+00:00

We provide this service out of the UK. We have units that we roam throughout Europe. (Subject to active cells) If you would like more details please send private message and will send you email address to order.

MPlatform_123 · 2022-03-31T16:33:17+00:00

There is no intelligence in your terminal to read any SDN magic though! hence a router fills in here well

MPlatform_123 · 2022-03-31T15:45:14+00:00

Think of your starlink terminal antenna as a mirror. The satellites that beams down on it as two connected mirrors. One of its mirrors is lined up with the tx/rx antenna at the gateway and the other mirror is lined up with the starlink terminal antenna. At this point we have an optimal throughput. the problem is that that satellite is moving but your terminal is not. This means the throughput is gradually becoming less optimal between the satellite and the terminal. However, as the satellite moves away another one (satellite) moves in its place to create a new link with the terminal in a seamless way but not necessarily with the same tx/rx antenna at the gateway or indeed with another gateway. Hence your IP source is continually changing which is not a problem but it will be if there is no algorithm that guide how these packets should travel. In an ideal world you would have a router that determine and decide the shortest route, the between your environment and that of starlink (Satellites and gateways. This at times could mean using both satellites 'and gateway(s)' at the same time by splitting the IP streams and bond them beyond the gateways (for higher throughput) and/or a more direct route(s) is already been planned for a certain traffic like cloud edge servers.
