Tech Breakthrough Morphs Gigabit WiFi into Terabit Satellite Internet

   by [2]Carlos A Rios — July 26, 2021
   Reformulated terrestrial radio MIMO technology could empower SpaceX to
   singlehandedly bridge the global digital divide by decade’s end
   Mid-decade “Dynamic Polarization” – upgraded SpaceX Starlink Gateways,
   LEO satellite and Subscriber CPE

   A highly unlikely, radically innovative synthesis of millimeter wave
   antenna design, digital communications coding, new-school terrestrial
   radio multi-signal processing and old-school satellite directional
   transmission could be delivering High Definition Internet from
   way-on-high to billions by 2026. This piece describes recently
   patented Dynamic Polarization Spatial Multiplexing and
   Beamforming (“Dynamic Polarization”, or “DPSMXBF”) technology and how
   it could enable so-upgraded Low Earth Orbit satellite (“LEOSat”)
   networks to close the worldwide Internet Haves versus Have-nots
   “digital divide” in just a few years.

   Two decades into the new millennium a decided preponderance of the
   planet’s population still lacks good video-quality Internet at home.
   One might think that all those newfangled LEOSat constellations now
   starting to launch could together finally mend that particularly
   21st century global socioeconomic rift, but not even SpaceX’s full-up
   Starlink network can even begin trimming back the masses of
   Netflix-deprived. Its planned 12k 15 Gbps satellites will deliver less
   than 2M 720p HD streams to the billion-plus households clamoring below,
   an over 100x Internet capacity shortfall. So, as launching 1.2M
   satellites likely exceeds the wherewithal of even Elon Musk, one might
   conclude that the global Internet connectivity chasm will remain
   un-spanned for some while."
