Larger dishes, like the 1.2 meter F3 DataStrom system may use the outer bands for receiving a signal.
There are three DIRECWAY Satellites. G-11, G4R and SatMEX 5.
Below are the three beam patterns or "footprints" of each satellite. The rings
represent the signal strengths of each satellite that fall on North America.
The inner rings are the stronger signal strength. Each ring outside the inner
ring becomes a weaker signal.
