wlan over satellite

Hi,

I think the round trip delay would be too much for the 802.11b spec to handle. dont forget it's 2 * 36000Km's - i.e. uplink and downlink. Plus you would need a transponder bandwidth of at least 2.2Mhz for 1mbps communications. Also the uplink power needed to give the required s/n ratio would be high. etc etc
