Sometime Today, Rony Bill assembled some asciibets to say:
have a satellite that transmitts at a frequency of say 10 Ghz. This translates to a digital bit rate of 10 Gbits per second. After a little frequency beating, we get an output signal of 8 Gbits per
what about latency?
The problem with normal internet is that it is an instantaneous system where the data is downloaded as per the user requirement and different users have different data to be simultaneously downloaded, thereby
this is the primary use case.
where the data is not downloaded on demand but is serially transmitted at a high speed like 1 Gbytes per second. This means that in 24 hours, a channel of 1 Gbytes/sec can transmitt 24 x 3600 Gbytes of data. This corresponds to 86400 Gbytes or 86.4 terabytes of data in 24 Hours. The
OR, you could package a few terabytes of data onto magnetic tapes and fly them to your destination. You'd get a higher data throughput. Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of magnetic tapes speeding down the highway.
user has no choice but to wait for 24 hours for the next broadcast in case he/she has just missed it. If the satellite has 24 transponders
Sounds like TV no?
The cost for setting this system up will not be cheap but considering the
Doordarshan already has the necessary infrastructure set up. Talk to them to reuse. I know there were plans with the dept of agriculture, something along the lines of regional programming slots for local farmers (anyone remember Amchi Mati Amchi Mansa?)
