Abstract

The article is devoted to research and evaluation of the bandwidth of satellite communication systems. An important step to improve the efficiency of any satellite system is the use of enhanced coding techniques with error correction during data transmission. This approach makes it possible to ensure greater reliability and stability of communication, especially in conditions of bad weather or other obstacles that can affect the quality of the signal.
The application of error-correcting coding consists in inserting additional information into the data transmission, which allows the recovery of lost information in the event that it is damaged or lost during transmission. This process requires computing resources and special algorithms, but it significantly increases the reliability of communication.
Thanks to error-correcting coding, Starlink can provide stable Internet even in conditions where other satellite systems may lose communication due to interference or weather conditions. This is especially important for users who rely on reliable access to the network at any time.

Keywords: Starlink; simulated computer modeling; data transfer; satellite Internet; interference resistance; coding; bandwidth.
