Speaking of "terminals"..

SpaceX recently activated their first "Starlink Community Gateway" up in the Aleutians in Alaska.

The community gateway provides a terrestrial "end point" to provide data directly from the ISL bandwidth to any given point that the "Community Gateway" is installed. The one in Unalaska claim 10Mbs delivered to the "Community Gateway" where it is then distributed to the local town nearby.

So the "Community Gateway" provides a connection to the ISL network of the satellites at the 53 degree inclinations.

So if your "Community Gateway" is located at 46 degrees or lower. Now the "Community Gateway" has the ISL bandwidth of both the 53 and 43 degree constellation. The two ISL networks can be "aggregated". Then in the future when they launch the new satellites in the 33 degree inclination, then additional ISL bandwidth can be aggregated. Same goes for the 70 degree and the 97.6 degree constellations. It provides the ability to to provision multi-gigabyte service from anywhere to anywhere on the globe.

Doesn't take much imagination to see a single antenna installed on a "cruise ship", "aircraft carrier" or perhaps even an A380.
