No. That’s starlink(Elon), not satslink (coinkite)

Oh okay. Thanks.

Nope, talking about the device being created by #CoinKite for DIY & people who like to tinker

Sorry for misconception. Havent heard about that project...

Using VHF/UHF in local areas with a few receivers getting block chain data from black streams satellite or the few internet access points can greatly help communities in rural or difficult to reach locations
