RV_ Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Boy will everyone in RVs and trucks be glad when, not if, the new LEO mini sat constellation gets up and running for inexpensive Internet and cell service. Sorry, I moved this to its own thread as it was not on the topic of cell 3G but is on topic with Internet on the road.

Dutch_12078 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I read your complete post on the other thread, and yes, I certainly am looking forward to the upcoming LEO Internet system(s) as a replacement for both 3G and 4G in our motorhome.

RV_ Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 There isn't long to wait it seems. I remember reading that after finally getting the model 3 ramped up Musk commented that he would take the energy division off the back burner. At SpaceX he is also ramping up the LEO system which will be launched as soon as the international leaders, along with ours, make the permissions/permits permanent.

Dutch_12078 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I understand the private earth station end will be about the size of a laptop PC. I wonder if a portable hotspot type device will eventually evolve for personal use. Something along the lines of a sat phone versus a cell phone...

RV_ Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 It will be interesting to see what device or Devices they come up with for home and mobile. And when the serious testing begins.
