Editor's Notes
- #16: the process works in a somewhat similarway to traditional internet satellitesin which a signal is sent from theinternet service provider to thesatellite in orbitand is then triangulated back down tothe receiver however in the starlinksystem the signal is sent from theinternet service provider to onestarling satellite
- #17: which then sends the signal to one ofthe four other satellites it's connectedtothe signal is passed along the networkat the speed of light until it reachesthe optimum satellite for sending thesignal down to the receiverthis process reduces latency or lagsignificantly over long distances
- #18: delivering the internet via satellite isso much more efficient than by wirebecause the signal travels 47 percentfaster as a wave through the vacuum ofspace than it does traveling along afiber optic cablefiber optic internet will remain fasterover short distances but over longerranges there will be no comparison
