[00:00:00]How did Iran actually learn to jam Starlink without affecting civilian networks? Musk's terminals were long considered completely invulnerable to electronic warfare. The antenna points a narrow beam directly [music] into space, ignoring ground interference. A classic jammer floods the spectrum, shutting down cellular networks across whole cities. But engineers realized they didn't need to blind the entire radio spectrum [music] on the ground. They isolated the exact frequency space uses to talk to the dishes, the coup. Instead of massive radars, they [music] built a network of portable narrowbeam microe emitters mounted on skyscrapers. These devices project a localized interference [music] dome straight up. The emitter creates a barrier strictly tuned to the satellite's specific frequency. The dish loses connection, [music] but nearby smartphones continue using 5G without any glitches. Pinpoint Physics isolated the terminals while keeping critical urban infrastructure [music]
