I didn’t know what a pico cell was. Thank you for explaining it. I do know vaguely what a repeater is, and found that terminology, though perhaps less specific, useful to getting his point.

"Router" would be a more suiteable word, you make a small coverage area connected by "lan/satellite" to the main network...

To be clear, a pico cell is simply a cell site with limited range. It doesn’t need to connect to a satellite. Most connect via fiber, like most cell sites.

Right.. the pico cell on a fucking airplane is gonna be connected via fiber...

Are you usually this challenged by reading comprehension?

You’re saying interesting things but you’re coming across as a dick, not sure if it’s intentional. Just so you know

Let’s just say I didn’t expect this level of ignorance in a technology sub. Not intentional.

I’ll freely admit there’s lots I don’t know about technology. Its a big field after all. But Im interested in it and like to learn more, so that’s why I’m here. I imagine there are a number of people who are here for reasons other than wanting to feel superior.

pretty obvious he meant most on a plane connect to sat, most in general connect to fiber

He does? Pico's on planes connect to sats, terrestrial pico's can use fiber?
