Snow accumulation on a flat pizza box antenna is not going to be good. Maybe it will have a heater in it.
Not sure what frequency they are at but it sure messes with K band and C band TV signals.

The issue with sat internet is the upload. How many watts are they going to allow each house to broadcast to get into space? -- Steven Kenney Network Operations Manager WaveDirect Telecommunications http://www.wavedirect.net (519)737-WAVE (9283) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "chuck" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 26, 2020 10:07:40 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Starlink They will have trees and snow to worry about. I am sure it will not be super cheap either. People don’t like antennas on their houses (sorry wisps but I do fiber now). I am not worried, but I was not worried about Covid either...

I'm not really because I don't care how hot your signal is, you'll be going over 100KM into space. No way they'll get stable latency. -- Steven Kenney Network Operations Manager WaveDirect Telecommunications http://www.wavedirect.net (519)737-WAVE (9283) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "David Coudron" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 26, 2020 9:56:09 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Starlink We had done some poking around to see about the same thing about 2 months ago. We didn’t find much, but we’d be pretty interested in seeing of this is a possibility. We are wondering if it would be more feasible/cheaper than building out a new tower site for 2-3 subscribers surrounded by trees and will be the most the tower will every have on it. Or if you can make any money on it.

I heard there may be a way of being a reseller or to lease bandwidth through their system. I'd like to find out more information. -- Steven Kenney Network Operations Manager WaveDirect Telecommunications http://www.wavedirect.net (519)737-WAVE (9283) -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
