Desde ayer dejo de andar la app de streaming que utilizamon, pero por suerte tenemos la television satelital abierta FTA con antenas de banda Ku, algunas de DirecTV que me las dono gente que ya no usa más ese servicio. La TV satelital no requiere internet y es abierta por lo cual es totalmente legal y libre de dolores de cabeza más que mantener en condiciones las propias antenas que en mi caso las instale hace unos 6 años ya... #tv #satelital #fta #satellite #kuband #offthegrid #radio

@jt_rebelo @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I'd call #Ukraine "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already leverage domestic #Fiber & #GSM networks as well as procuring entire transponders for exclusive use.

• I couldn't confirm X-Band use with either #XTAR or #BwSATCOM-2 simply because I have neither teleport access nor matching LNBs/BUCs ready, but existing press releases by @Bundesregierung & @AuswaertigesAmt hint that Ukraine has been upgraded to #NATO #Link22 capabilities.

• Existing #SIGINT & purchases show huge amounts of COTS #KuBand & #KaBand and even #Cband-Equipment being used since 2022, which use higher-ping #GSO|s but are easier to decoy and protect against #ElectronicWarfare and #Sabotage (just by shoving the dish into a partially buried sewage pipe, making it look like a ghettohacked Copy of #BARS, the Soviet-Era #Troposcatter CnC Radio...

@mastodonmigration @GottaLaff noone relies solely on #Starlink, espechally given it's big-ass dishes.

• Even the #US #DoD uses #Iridium & #UHFSATCOM.

• #SES & #Eutelsat have various commercial #Cband, #KuBand & #KaBand transponders for bidirectional data from their GSOs.

• #XTAR has a #Xband-Spotbeam.

• #Ukraine has both #Fiber and #Radio links (civilian and military) to link together units and emplacements. Espechally direct-burial/lie-flat fiber is used because #COTS parts are cheap, commonplace and unlike copper, they can do 160km+ without amplifiers with ample of room for splices.

Pretty shure Starlink was a mere "comfort feature" allowing units to send their drone footage from their FOB to HQ for instant #Meme|fication and "scoreboard updates" but I'm shure worst-case the #NAFO friends will just pack in some 2,5" SSDs and USB cases with the next supply trucks or have some #Skyhook-Style delivery system if that was ever needed.

• I'm shure the folks in the trenches will miss YouTubing in their toilet break, but I'm shure they still have enough #Memes and #Entertainment in reserve to compensate for it.

@vwestlife #Funfact: In #Europe, #Cband dishes weren't common so #SatelliteInternet used simiar #Tuner cards with #VSAT terminals, usually accepting downlinks from regular commercial #TV #satellites that were just data channels on #ASTRA and/or #Eutelsat #HotBird in the #KuBand...

• Later they got some fancy "SAT-Routers" that combines a #DVB-S downlink and an #analog #56k / #ISDN modem for uplink if not offered to use #2G #mobile networks as well...

I've got one of those:

Basically a #Router with some #Linux on Ethernet, Power & F-Screw-Connector on the rear, #56k& #ISDN #Modem|s and USB up-front.

• And yes, I used that to share a #dialup connection with multiple devices, because they can do that!
