How In-Flight Wi-Fi Actually Works at 35,000 Feet
from My Weird Prompts
How does in-flight Wi-Fi deliver 150 Mbps over the Atlantic? We break down the two-layer network: the phased-array antenna tracking LEO satellites at 7.5 km/s, and the cabin distribution system fighting a metal tube full of signal-absorbing humans. Plus, why the routers are the same ones you'd use at home, and how Doppler shift gets handled in real time. Episode #544370 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/544370
