Beaming internet from the middle of the woods using an extra large pizza-sized satellite dish placed on top of your house up to a satellite orbiting five hundred and fifty kilometers outside Earth's atmosphere well let's be honest is technologically mind-blowing What's even crazier is that the Starlink satellites move incredibly fast around twenty-seven thousand kilometers per hour and data is being sent back and forth between them at hundreds of megabits per second all while the dish and satellite are continuously angling or steering the beam of data pointed directly between them On top of that the dish switches between different satellites every four or so minutes because they move out of the dish's field of view rather quickly If you have no clue as to how this is possible stick around because we're going to dive into the multiple key technologies which enable satellite internet to magically work First we'll explore inside the satellite dish and see how it generates a beam of data that is able to reach space Second we'll see how this dish continuously steers the beam so that it points directly at a satellite moving across the sky And third we'll dive into what exactly the dish and satellite are sending inside the beam that results in your ability to stream five HD movies or shows simultaneously This video is quite long as it's full of in-depth details
