Comment on The iPhone 13 Does Not Have Satellite Internet, Band N53 and Globalstarparent

Comments

The most likely path forward, and the one that Globalstar proclaims themselves, is licensing this spectrum for use on a terrestrial basis.

So no, not clickbait. The conclusion of the article's author is that n53 band support is not for satellite connectivity but for terrestrial connections using that band.

Slightly off-topic, but I always wondered if Starlink could setup terrestrial links with the same equipment to create/augment suburban/urban capacity.

Just mount Dishy and it’ll point to that big tower/building downtown.

Could you do it cheaper with existing wifi gear? In theory, but then you need someone to mount and aim it. This would be grab and go almost.
