On the multiple terminals, I have verified that the duty cycle of a consumer terminal is 14%, thus, you could have 7 terminals on a single uplink channel with some guard time. I have seen 30 Mbps up, so you’d be able to push 210 Mbps in uplink, or a spectral efficiency of about 3.4 bps/Hz.
From the satellite side, maybe EPFD limits don’t apply over water bodies, and they can place multiple co-frequency beams onto a single cell, which would allow throughputs into multiple gigabits per second (if no other usage around of course).
I’m working on simulating ship scenarios on my tracker, along with other features.

Do they have ten ships?
I know of 7 off the top of my head, the three drone ships, the multi-purpose
recovery ships bob and doug, they got a couple more recently(named for females,
don't remember the names reliably), all those recovery ships on the east coast,
so they probably have one or two on the west coast, and I don't think that
includes the dragon recovery craft.
$150k/month with much better service
Is that for uncapped service from a GEO? What speeds do they get for that? Do GEO folks like Hughes offer SLAs to business customers?
that was for 25G of bandwidth from the post I saw mentioned, they didn't mention
the speed (but they did show the difference in video quality from the barges
between the old and new)

Does SES offer marine connectivity?
Russian oligarchs will be early customers.

it all depends on what you are comparing it to. This isn't designed for a 30 ft
boat, but rather for commercial operations. SpaceX had talked about how this
replaces the earlier satellite services they have had on their boats that were
unreliable and cost >$150k/month with much better service listing for
<$50k/month (for all their boats)
This is designed to be an all-weather allways-on service, most boaters could
just use a standard starlink RV setup and put it out when they need it (taking
it down when the weather is poor)

Did you notice the eye popping cost?

"High-speed, low-latency internet with up to 350 Mbps download while at
sea. $5,000/mo with a one-time hardware cost of $10,000 for two high
performance terminals."
I know a bunch of yacthies that have been waiting for this, but are
now
disappointed.
