silly question, does starlink operate using fixed geographical cells and are
CPE/dishies assigned to a single cell? In which case handover would not have
to be so bad, the satellite leaving a cell is going to shed all its load and
is going to take over the previous satellite's load in the cell it just starts
serving. Assuming equal "air-conditions" the modulation scheme should be
similar. So wouldn't the biggest problem be the actual switch-over time
required for dishies to move from one satellite to the next (and would this be
in line with the reported latency spikes every 15 seconds)?
yes, there was a paper not that long ago from someone who was using the starlink
signal for time/location purposes that detailed the protocol and the coverage
(at least at that time)
in the last week or so the FCC approved increased power/utilization percentage,
I don't know if units in the field have been modified to use it yet.

I'll see whether I can get hold of one of these. Cutting a cable on a
university IT asset as an academic is not allowed here, except if it doesn't
meet electrical safety standards.
[SM] There must be a way to get this accomplished with in regulations if
the test requiring this is somehow made part of the experiment, no? (Maybe
requires partnering with other faculties like electrical engineering to get
the necessary clout with the administration?)
the other optin would be to order a second cord and cut that. You then aren't
modifying the IT asset.
