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.. -- 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
