Snow, Ice, thunderstorms. From: Bill Prince Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 1:04 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Common Networks bets 5G will replace cable internet in your home
The most recent reports say that they're planning on 24 launches in the next 12 months. That would put them at about a 1400 satellite constellation. Basic service would be in the neighborhood of 300-600 satellites. Double that (if reports are accurate) would allow them to provide service to most of North America. One metric that I've not seen is what kind of sky aperture is required to provide uninterrupted service. There are areas around here with really dense tree cover, and there is only the smallest open sky window (less than 5 degrees, if that). Would that be open enough for there to be a satellite in view all the time? bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 11/12/2019 11:42 AM, Carl Peterson wrote: I initially thought they would launch as B2B, but based on their job advertisements etc it really looks like they are spooling up for direct consumer sales. I would be amazed if they bother selling anything under 100m service. No idea how they think these things are going to get mounted on the roof but I think people are really going to be blindsided by how fast this thing launches.
