We recently tested our new GPRS/EDGE hybrid Satellite modem and saw consistent 80Kbps uploads (AT&T) and 170Kbps uploads (T-Mobile) with consistent 1.1+ Mbps downloads (AMC-15/EchoStar Fixed Satellite Corp.)One test conducted = requesting a 100Mb file
Satellite received: 106976 kB
GPRS/EDGE received: 46 kB
GPRS/EDGE sent: 153 kB
The AT&T signal had t only 2 bars. The T-Mobile was at 5 (do you hear me now?). The SW-20 GPRS/EDGE modem comes with an external antenna and it helped out.
We have been testing for a week and should have more results shortly. Our manufacturing/engineering partners will be in from Europe on Tuesday, so we're all excited to get things kicked off very soon i.e. FCC certification, evaluation units in, etc.
Imagine a low latency, mobile & easy to install system which can be used anywhere that you have GPRS cellular data available.
I just received some .75 Prodelins from SatEng, and they are beautiful.
