[Sussex] Leased line / Kilostream

[john]

Outstanding - Satcom's! actually something on the list that I have knowledge of(that's if operating a quadruple cdma - twin channel, on a moving platform - a ship, counts)

This is where you have to find a spoken language a bit like "Inuit", except instead of having 43 different words for snow, you need the same for rain/airbourne moisture, because of the reflective properties of rain/water - the rain in "big lumps" isn't a problem, but you should try it in dense fog/mist, and even better, snow - now that really tests software error correction abilities!

Those of you who are "sky'd up" will have observed the phenomena when the picture "pixelates"!

Still, I say you had it easy. You should try maintaining a good signal when the stable platform mounting of the downlink antenna has gone "breasts vertical" and you have to track the satellite by hand for 8 hours in a mission critical environment (a warzone i.e. Yugoslavia!)

Sorry, as soon as I read Andrew's post I got the "flashback"!

regards

  That's it with the starlight system is an total waste of time.  

  There no BB here so my only option is an Leased line/Kilostream Internet connection.   

  Have any of you got any experiences on this subject?


  (My views of Internet via satellite , F------ C---.  Doesn't work in the rain, when not raining some F------ hub in Germany is having a problem, it waste of time! DO NOT USE IT, DO NOT TOUCH IT, UNLESS YOU REALLY HATE YOUR PAYMASTER)
