Satellite to Satellite communication ?
"David Lesher" wrote in message
... "Ken Taylor" writes: Echo cancellation reduces echo, it doesn't do anything to delay except potentially add to it. Delay doesn't show up as an echo - echo is due to mismatches; delay is due to propagation delays, processing delays, and similar time-wasters. You need a thiotimoline injector to solve the delay issue. -- Was that Heinlen or Asimov? :-) Ken |

Paul Perhaps for large metropolitan areas. I live in a little podunk place 120 miles from Tucson or Phoenix. Folks on the nearby rez who'd have no way of getting fiber optic or cable are getting dishes. However the metropolitan markets are much more lucrative. Don't know if reaching the planet's rural areas justifies comsats. -- Hop David http://clowder.net/hop/index.html It's a really dicey proposition. The number of people required in an area to make it feasible to put in a terrestrial solution tends to be much less than that required to make the comsat solution viable. While you can get greater coverage area with comsat than a terrestrial install, you tend to need to limit your coverage area anyway to raise the power level in your area of interest to something considered usable by the customer (ie. they want a small dish!). So it gets hard to get a satellite solution going with a chance of long-term viability. Companies are still trying though - most fascinating! :-) Ken |
