- KaiserPro 1y agoGood question, I imagine its using m2m 4g if its "off the shelf"
- wkat4242 1y agoSwarm used pretty big antennas (due to a much lower wavelength) on the ground segment. It was pretty impractical. And that frequency, starlink sats are not capable of it. Swarm's network was very incomplete, there were hours of no coverage at all. I think that they just bought it to remove a potential competitor.
- cozzyd 1y agoYeah but one rug pull, shame on you...
- inemesitaffia 1y agoRug pull? Guess who designed this direct to cell sats? The founder of SWARM.
- cozzyd 1y agoYes but presumably people designed things to work with swarm. I almost did...
