This table shows the uplink power and receive antenna gains for all expected stations in the PCsat system. Standby receive gain is for the user who is not aware of, nor optimized for satellite reception. For example, an HT in a pocket, or mobile parked under trees. Handheld and Mobile digital communications with Whips.
Igate uplink is relatively unconstrained.
Downlink to internet is relatively unconstrained. Spread of applications among multiple receivers to minimize collisions is desired. Synchronizing of downlink transmissions is desired to maximize the available half-duplex satellite receive time. Reundancy and Backups are desired. KISS Principle should reign.
