So here me out. I've been to low earth orbit (90,000 feet) with
equipment I can get in my basement/hardware store. I've beamed signals
back from 90,000 feet to a radio in my truck.
I'm familiar with how AmSats work (although have not sent one up myself).
What is preventing a WISP from putting together a solar powered GeoSync
satellite that has a few Cambium Spots on it to fully cover your
coverage area?
Yes, you'd have capacity issues if you didn't plan it correctly, but is
there technically any reason I can't run a 5GHz link to a satellite?
Do you have to pay a "rental" fee to occupy a space in space to park
your bird?
Yes, I realize there would be latency, but if you keep the throughput
there (something Hughes Doesn't Do), the experience wouldn't be half bad
for most things..
