杰夫泰勒: One thing that I do want to mention on satellite though is, I'd say the biggest risk with it is that though it works very well, weather is a real factor. Rain fade can cause some interference or take you off the air entirely. We try and do everything with redundancy and diversity, right? So we wouldn't just bring two satellite trucks, we would bring a satellite truck and IP or something like that. The one time years ago that some budget decision was made, "Satellite's been working great, we'll just go with the one." We brought in one satellite truck, 这是在休斯顿, and a major thunderstorm came rolling in out of nowhere and we were off the air for five minutes. It's like, okay, we're never doing that again.
卫星很棒. We still use it today for our high-level things. We did an event out of Mohave Desert and it was KU band satellite and they actually brought a trailer with the data so that we could also do a IP feed from there as well, hitting the different satellites. But we also find that KU band is used more commonly and less expensive, comparatively. C band will handle the weather phenomenon better, 在一般情况下, but it's typically more expensive and it's just not used as often.
蒂姆Siglin: It's interesting to watch some of the satellite companies as they're putting up new birds because I've been consulting with one company who's looking to put one up. They're also buying a lot of dark fiber up, because they understand that they also need that redundancy, if there is a rain fade situation.
特洛伊威特: And to stratify it, I don't know what budget level you're looking at. When you go to satellite, 不管是KU还是KA, I find for my clients that basically, I put in a budget number. Whenever, the second that somebody mentions the satellite word, I just tell them $10,000. When we want to talk about cellular, bonded cellular or house IP, we can talk about under-$5,000个工作岗位. But the second that somebody says satellite, 我只是说, just for that line item, just let's put in today, 我们投1万吧, depending on a lot of variables. You get variables with satellite, KU太, of multiple hops across the country or the way that it goes up to the satellite, and if you need to go across the country, you got to go across multiple transponders. And each one of those transponders costs money. As I tell clients, it's in space. 这需要钱.
凯西•布: It's hard to put up more of it.
特洛伊威特: 完全.
