Satellite
Overview
Satellite systems provide connectivity in environments where traditional wired or cellular networks are unavailable or unreliable.
They are critical for remote deployments, redundancy, and resilient network design.
🎯 Scope
- Starlink and satellite internet systems
- Backup connectivity strategies
- Remote and off-grid deployments
🧠 Key Concepts
- Satellite systems prioritize availability over low latency
- Used as primary connectivity in remote areas or backup in critical systems
- Must be integrated into overall network architecture
- Weather and environmental factors can impact performance
System Architecture
Primary Connectivity
- Satellite as the main internet connection
- Common in remote or undeveloped areas
Backup Connectivity
- Failover from wired or cellular networks
- Ensures continued operation during outages
Remote Deployment
- Enables surveillance, monitoring, and automation in isolated locations
- Must account for power, mounting, and environmental conditions
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Assuming satellite performs like fiber or cable
- No failover or redundancy planning
- Ignoring latency-sensitive applications
- Poor antenna placement or obstruction
- Not accounting for weather impact
