This YouTube presentation of "How does Starlink Satellite Internet Work?" is nicely made and impressive. And pretty interesting. But what do the electromagnetic RF signal path guys think?

Phased antenna array is very old technology, it is widely used for radars.

The incredible thing of starlink is how it tracks satellite position and move beams in order to keep the link. This is very complicated task.

Few words of first hand experience wisdom.
Here using Starlink together with 4G and ADSL wired on multiport wan router, near one full year.

Personally working on line, not just me but also significant number of our visitors.

The system consist of 7 Wi-fi AP 2,4 GHz and number of upload streams like FR24 and AIS
Starlink works well 99% of time with exception of more dense rain showers.

Word of warning: the electric meters of old electro-mechanic construction with rotating disc
can pick up some microwave energy and go mad on numbers.
For two of ours, both three phase positioned approx 1 m bellow Starlink antenna - that was the case.
Now we have new modern electronic ones and still in discussion with distribution for real bill for spent energy.  :-BROKE
