Blending Dual LEO
For High Availability
Can two separate LEO satellite constellations work together to smooth out micro outages and improve uptime for persistent applications?
Why We Conducted This Test
Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have dramatically changed what is possible for connectivity in remote and underserved areas. However, because satellites are constantly moving overhead, periodic micro outages can occur as networks perform beam-to-beam and satellite-to-satellite handoffs.
While these interruptions are often brief, they can impact persistent applications such as cloud services, voice communications, video streaming, remote monitoring, and other mission-critical operations.
The objective of this Truth Lab test was to determine whether Dejero Smart Blending Technology™ could improve availability by combining two independent LEO satellite constellations — Starlink and OneWeb — into a single blended connection.
What We Tested
The goal of this test was simple: determine whether blending two independent LEO satellite constellations could improve availability compared to using either service on its own.
Starlink Only
A standalone Starlink Gen3 High Performance terminal operating independently without any blended connectivity.
OneWeb Only
An Intellian OW70L terminal connected exclusively to the OneWeb constellation with no additional network paths.
Starlink + OneWeb
Both LEO satellite systems blended together through Dejero Smart Blending Technology™ to create a single managed connection.
How The Test Worked
To ensure consistent and repeatable results, the test environment was designed to isolate connectivity performance while continuously monitoring application availability across each network path.
Deploy LEO Systems
An Intellian OW70L connected to OneWeb and a Starlink Gen3 High Performance terminal were installed following manufacturer best practices.
Generate Traffic
Linux systems generated continuous HTTPS traffic across each network while monitoring responsiveness every 500 milliseconds.
Blend Networks
A Dejero M6E6 Gateway combined Starlink and OneWeb into a single blended connection using Smart Blending Technology™.
Measure Availability
Availability was calculated over 163 continuous hours by measuring outages and comparing uptime against total test duration.
Outage Definition
To minimize false positives caused by internet-related events, an outage was only recorded when both 8.8.8.8 (Google) and 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) became unreachable simultaneously. This helped ensure that measured interruptions were attributable to the connectivity path itself rather than a single destination issue.
