Apologies for cluttering the feed, but after many failed searches I'll just post and ask for forgiveness later. I want to know what the technical reason for not being able to port forward dishy? If someone can explain or link any past replies about the subject that would be great. (I work in A/V and have lots of clients that want high-speeds in the middle of no where... but it is hard to integrate with rti/control4 etc without this, usually end up using starlink just for keystones, ap..)

What IP address does Starlink provide?Starlink today currently provides a DHCP issued Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) non-routable IPv4 address in the 100.64.0.0/10 range.Note - as Starlink continues to expand and upgrade our global internet service infrastructure and rollout new capabilities, some users may see different IP address behavior (ex. publicly routable addresses, IPv6, non-CGNAT)Will Starlink provide a publicly routable DHCP or Static IP IPv4 address?Yes. Starlink plans to support this functionality in the future. We do not yet have an estimated time when this will be available to customers.

That is quite a few potential customers, though obviously still not something that can serve cities. No idea if the person replying is correct, of course, but it seems like pretty specific information.

However, it's not clear what the minimum angular separation is needed to reuse downlink channels, or that each antenna can use each channel exactly once per polarization.

Is there any capability I'm losing compared to Viasat?
WASHINGTON: The United States, in an official “note verbale” to the United Nations, has refuted China’s unusual diplomatic accusation that SpaceX’s Starlink satellites have endangered, and continue to endanger, its crewed space station.“If there had been a significant probability of collision involving the China Space Station, the United States would have provided a close approach notification directly to the designated Chinese point of contact,” asserts the Jan. 28 missive filed with the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs in Vienna.Beijing, in its own Dec. 3 note verbale to the same UN office, complained that on two occasions — once in July 2020 and once in October 2021 — the station’s newest core module, Tianhe, had to dodge a Starlink to avoid a crash. The complaint also asked the UN to “remind States parties” (i.e. the United States) about their obligations under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty to ensure that their space operators follow the treaty’s provisions. The move was politically odd, both in the fact that it seemingly came out of the blue and that the Office of Outer Space Affairs has no official role in mediating such disputes.
SpaceX standard antenna production rises rapidly this year, so those with orders shouldn’t have to wait long.Note, Starlink can only support a limited number of users in an area, so best to order early.
There are multiple ground station antennas per sat, too.
Quote from: envy887 on 02/03/2022 01:02 pmThere are multiple ground station antennas per sat, too.definitely not. The satellite has only 2 Ka-band parabolic antennas, and only works with 1 gateway at all times. One antenna is working, the second is aimed at another gateway for handover..

No. Handoffs take about a second. They're not going to keep half their ground capability shut down waiting for one.

Design OneWEB & StarLink Gen1 is very similar, you can say Musk in 2016 copied the first version of StarLink from OneWEB

Design OneWEB & StarLink Gen1 is very similar, you can say Musk in 2016 copied the first version of StarLink from OneWEB. And OneWEB described everything in detail and unambiguously in its application for the FSS from 2016.//Each OneWeb satellite will have 16 nominally identical user beams, operating in Ku-band, eachconsisting of a non-steerable highly-elliptical spot beam. There are also two identical steerablegateway beam antennas, operating in Ka-band, on each OneWeb satellite, and each of theseantennas creates an independently steerable circular spot beam. The 16 Ka-band uplink channelsin one gateway receive beam (the one tracking the servicing gateway) are converted to 16 Kuband downlink channels, each one routed to one of the 16 user beams (“forward links”),nominally at 250 MHz bandwidth. Additionally, 16 different Ku-band uplink channels from thesame 16 user beams are converted to 16 Ka-band downlink channels and sent back to the samegateway transmit beam (“return links”), each having a nominal channel bandwidth of 125 MHz.The second gateway beam is tracking the next gateway earth station for handover proceduresNo operator in their right mind will interrupt the service for a while while the antenna is slowly tuned to another gateway. strange to talk about this in 2022

You have no slightest idea what are you talking about: "slowly tuned to" is perfect example of many.Are you saying that setting up to another gateway takes less than 1 second?? And where can you read about it?
