2nd/3rd Satellite question?

[Uplink01]

If you add a 2nd, or 3rd satelite, does the backhall speed get spilt between each satelite progoressively getting slower as you add more, or can they in theory all conenct at 1.7Gbps? I understand that each satelite will only talk ot the main unit, and not each other,

hi

2 sats doesnt seem to effect throughput over wifi connections as the max wifi out of any say is 867M , so they pretty much use 1/2 the 1733M each , the 1733M backhaul does use mu-mimo but it wouldnt be all that helpfull as each sat's backhaul is 4 x 4 , i think a 3rd sat may reduce throughput but only of course if the others are all hoging the bandwidth

So if that is true, if you had 4 satelites you would be connecting at around 400mbit's to each one via the backhall? Or would it still connect to each device at around 1.7 (assuming it is within range, etc) and then just share the badnwidth as needed.

they would still connect at the max rate but they would have to share the throughput , its hard to tell unless someone had 4 sats how they would actually work as its all a bit voodoo this wifi stuff 🙂
