@dragonfrog @benh @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff as for #ITsec amd the whole #Starlink #Network: It basically uses a homegrown mix of #DOCSIS, #GSM and #ViaSat #SurfBeam technologies to generate these hexagon coverage areas.

• Certainly not trivial, but not impossible to #BlueBox, tho unless one needs #FPS-grade #Ping|s, it's not worth the effort when other Options like #KaSAT are easier and cheaper to get hold of...https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114048966406486263

@Syulang @mekkaokereke @carnage4life Espechally when the #tech used isn't even something #SpaceX invented: Their phased-array designs and active tracking tech is based upon @DLR 's #SANTANA2 project.

To grossly oversimplify: It's like an array of 3-axis active tracking dishes, but microscopic and without actually moving parts...

And for the network itself they just repurposed #DOCSIS but with multiple endpoints and made the handshake faster to allow smooth handover.

Nothing Groundbreaking...

@jwildeboer @EU_Commission If it were my decision, all lines would be symmetrical.
That being said shit like #xDSL and espechally #Vectoring and #DOCSIS are heavily asymetric.

Not mandating #FTTB & #FTTH coverage for every household as a must-provide utility at a fied rate like drinking water and electricity is the problem:

Cuz if it was my decision, every household would get two pairs of OS2 fiber laid and maybe some (x) #GPON in addition to that.
