Regarding Teledesic...

IMO, Teledesic is distancing itself from Motorola after the Iridium fiasco. Motorola has a lot of explaining to do, and Bill and Craig are waiting to hear their[MOT] answers.

Some Teledesic Facts.

Teledesic is not a public company.

Teledesic is scheduled to begin service in 2003.

The Teledesic system is designed to support millions of simultaneous users. Users will have two-way connections that provide 64 Mbps on the downlink and 2 Mbps on the uplink.

Teledesic will operate in the high-frequency Ka-band of the radio spectrum (28.6 - 29.1 GHz uplink and 18.8 - 19.3 GHz downlink)utilizing 288 satellites.

Teledesic QOS design parameters include:

Multi-megabit, Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD). Terminals will be able to request and release capacity in less than 50 msec, resulting in extremely efficient statistical multiplexing.

Fiber-like Bit Error Rates (BER). Use of Forward Error Control (FEC) will provide BER of less than 10-10, creating an essentially noise-free channel.

Fiber-like availability. Availability of 99.9% or higher, enabled by Teledesic's 40 degree elevation angle among other features, will provide higher uptime than many terrestrial links.

Fiber-like latency. End-to-end (one-way) latency will be as low as 20 msec and less than 75 msec on all links of less than 5,000 km. Round-trip (two-way) latency will be less than 100 msec on most connections.
