Signal Obstruction Scorecard

The Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) Signal Obstruction Scorecard displays information about the percentage of time the signal from the satellite was obstructed during the time period you select for this scorecard. The information can help you monitor and troubleshoot Starlink connectivity.

In satellite communications, signal obstruction can occur when an object such as a tree, a building, or a bridge blocks the communication path between the satellite and the satellite terminal. Certain kinds of weather, equipment malfunctions, terminal misalignment, damaged cables, and other electronic devices nearby can also interfere with the signal causing a blockage. The result is communication loss because the signal is obstructed.

Oracle ECP monitors signal obstruction and reports the aggregated percentage on the Signal Obstruction tab at the time you clicked the tab or when you click Refresh. Below the tab, Oracle ECP displays a line graph showing the percentage of obstruction in increments according to the time period you select.

This screen capture shows the Signal Obstruction tab. The tab displays the aggregated percentage for the selected time period. In this example, the Last 24 Hours time period is selected, which shows the obstruction percentage every two hours.
