[Starlink] tarana strikes back

[Jeremy Austin]

I haven’t vetted their specific numbers; but the approach (regarding actual
households per square mile) is consistent with mine comparing StarLink with
other WISP bands.

The upshot is that you can consider the shared medium of RF in terms of
spectral density (compensating for modulation differences.) Back of the
envelope and using anecdotal analysis of Tarana that we see in the field, I
think it’s in the correct order of magnitude.

The comments about Starlink using spatial reuse are legitimate — nothing is
preventing it from happening eventually — but their current FCC licensing
does not provide for this. Theoretically, we have infinite bandwidth (see
Tony Kapela’s work on “FU-MIMO”), but in practice, we have constraints.

Starlink’s strength, as others have pointed out, is ubiquity. I suspect
that traditional WISP technologies are still justifiable somewhere above
five customers per square mile (reasonably high density, given that Alaska
is < 1 !), but where that line is precisely is the difference between a
viable business plan and a money sink.
