GPS is not designed for two way communication. There is no way for it to receive requests from GPS receivers. And the system doesn't have the bandwidth to send much more information than it currently does: each satellite constantly broadcasts its orbital parameters and, regularly, the data for all the satellites (so the receiver knows how to find others more efficiently than the "blind" search that it has to do for the first).


There are satellite phones which would be a better technology to use.

Thanks for the reply Strange. Well for sending information back to the satellite, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

 

The SECOR system included three ground-based transmitters from known locations that would send signals to the satellite transponder in orbit.

 

What I originally had in mind is the light transmission, not the radio transmission, but then all you need is a point and then you can blink it on or off, 0 or 1

 

P.S. I'm saying this like every Pokemon can get an internet connection as long as they get a position, how much are they charging for satellite internet?

I don't see how that is relevant.

What "light transmission"?

 

Getting a position is not enough. Accessing the internet is a two way process.

Reverse satellite, we build satellite on earth

Posted

We build satellite on earth, then the satellite in the sky will have to receive earth satellite's GPS

 

That doesn't make much sense. GPS satellites are only designed to receive updates from the base stations that you mentioned. How would building a satellite on Earth help?

Alright well explain to me them, what is the difference between GPS and satellite internet? They are the same thing right?

Completely different.

 

Satellite internet uses communication satellites to provide two-way communication so that the user's computer can send a requests to the web, for example, and then receive the web page back. When you access a web page there are multiple backwards and forwards communications as the browser requests each bit of information required to display the page.

 

GPS satellites just broadcast their orbits continuously. They never interact with GPS receivers. Receivers are just receivers, they never transmit.

GPS seems to have a lower latency then satellite internet?

I'm not sure that latency makes any sense in the case of GPS. There is no signal being sent and returned. So how do you define latency?

Sigh nevermind, I thought we can get like free wireless internet with the GPS technology, but GPS isn't technically connected to the internet, I'll leave it at this, feel free to visit my unbreakable DNA post at the speculation forum
