Importance
editIs this article better classed as high importance? George8211 / T 10:55, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Adding detail to a particular section
editSince more detail, which I cannot provide, might be needed towards where it says "which then can be accessed when a Wi-Fi dongle is connected to the Raspberry Pi and setup correctly. Currently, this method only works with specific components when dealing with the USB satellite tuner and USB Wi-Fi dongles", someone might want to add detail to clarify any confusion a person might have reading this section.
Also, should there be more detail about the Outernet company? Or would that be in a separate article?

new name of the reciever
editthe article calls the reciever "pillar". The new name is "Lantern"
lantern vs pillar
editThe article states that the Pillar project has been renamed to Lantern. This is incorrect. Pillar uses ku-band signals and require a dish to pick up. Lantern uses L-Band and UHF and receives signals on its own, however a satellite dish can be connected to receive the higher bandwidth ku-band, effectively turning it into a Pillar. Lantern is more expensive than Pillar, however Pillar does require a dish. Pillar is being marketed as a mass use device, and Lantern for individuals/families

2018 V3 updates needed
editMost the article talked about the old 2014 L band system that ended in 2017.
The current system is using a Ku band with a LoRa chip [1] The Current Dreamcatcher 3 replaces the older equipment. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kastnerd (talk • contribs) 13:52, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Dreamcatcher v3.03 is the current hardware and the Ku-band downlink from satellite SES-2 completely replaces the system described here. this entry is out-of-date and should be marked as "needs update". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.234.52 (talk) 21:58, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
