In telecom I would call it a new network. Does this new network interface with the WWW?
It is tough for some to understand but I am sure many here can. Every traditional telecom has their own network. One definition is ILEC or CLEC.
Then we have companies that used to want private networks in between physical offices via something like MPLS.
I am skipping tons — there is a thing also called transport. Like if a telecom wants to dump a lot of traffic to another carrier (like using a train on train tracks) across the country or world.
What is a big thing now is called SDWAN - this is sold as “private” but it is riding over “public” to a orchestrator then the orchestrator will send packets to/from where they belong—however PUBLIC is the transport. This keeps the cost down over MPLS which is true private and not software (coding) dependent on being called private.
So these satellites are just another network but if you use those and goto gmail it will still be public internet.
Unless …
If you use Starlink and when connected to Starlink you can not see gmail.
Even if Elon makes gmail install a new head to connect to starlink — gmail using many forms of protocols can still be on the public internet.
……
The USA military however could be setup where only they use Starshield and they implement a protocol only for them. All new everything.
For the civilians wanting their door dash while connected to Starlink.
I make sense only if you can understand how the internet uses private networks and an an agreement on protocols.
Like if you use starlink and trace route to 8.8.8.8 all those hops are going thru different private networks that often are hidden beneath names like ATT. To add you only see hood but transport gear is not going to respond… that is where they can mirror stuff and store packets.
Movies made people believe the bugs are installed at the homes when it is not. Not for old school POTS or new IP driven stuff.
SDWAN is sold as private but it utilizes the public internet for transport—so for instance our voting systems… this is how they claim it is private because the definition of SDWAN says it is private. Yet if you understand how it flows it is using the public and just because of that it is exposed to the whole world.
