During Q4 AST SpaceMobile is due to launch five of its massive ‘Block 1 BlueBird’ 5G-ready satellites into orbit. These satellites will deliver 5G signals. In Q1 2025 AST has stated it will start launching its Block 2 BlueBird versions, which it says will be “ten times more powerful” and downloading at least 14 Mb/s to ordinary smartphones around the world. However, rival SpaceX is rapidly populating its fleet with its own Direct-to-Cellular (DTC) satellites. Read more - https://lnkd.in/eiDs5ze2

Every day we get closer to revolutionary connectivity across land, air, sea, and space -- With SpaceX paving the way with their #Starlink system, the very first batch of Starlink satellites has been successfully launched into #orbit as of this week! In case you don't remember, the goal of Starlink is to use satellites to connect to smartphones and grant cellular service anywhere on Earth... and even in space! This launch contained the first six Starlink satellites that are designed to connect to unmodified smartphones and are being operated under a temporary experimental license to start testing their capabilities. SpaceX also plans to enable texting from space sometime this year with hopes of implementing voice and data capabilities by 2025. It's crazy to think that within the next few years, seeing "No Service" on your phone could become a thing of the past!

New Post: SpaceX launches first satellites for cell phone service in dead zones - https://lnkd.in/gMkXVaDX - Elon Musk's ramblings about creating his own "alternative" smartphone may not currently be in the works. But one of Musk's companies is working on improving cellular connectivity.SpaceX has launched its first set of Starlink satellites with the ability to send signals to cellular phones. A Falcon 9 rocket carried 21 satellites into orbit on Tuesday, according to SpaceX. Tweet may have been deleted Musk's space company signed a deal with T-Mobile, one of the major U.S. wireless carriers, in August 2022 that will allow customers to access Starlink-provided network access primarily in dead zones across the country. U.S. regulators approved these satellites last month, according to TechCrunch.International wireless carriers, like Rogers in Canada and KDDI in Japan, are also expected to work with SpaceX for connectivity in areas with little-to-no service.According to Starlink's website, these satellites will act as a "cellphone tower in space.""Direct to Cell works with existing LTE phones wherever you can see the sky," reads the company's website. "No changes to hardware, firmware, or special apps are required, providing seamless access to text, voice, and data."While the first of these Starlink satellites have launched, consumers will still have to wait for some time. T-Mobile is expected to begin direct-to-cell testing with text messaging later this year, with voice and data tests rolling out in 2025 or later. - Download: Stupid Simple CMS - https://lnkd.in/g4y9XFgR

In an announcement on January 10th, SpaceX revealed that within less than six days of launching these revolutionary satellites, their engineers accomplished a remarkable feat. They successfully sent and received text messages to and from unmodified cell phones on the ground, utilizing T-Mobile spectrum. 📱🛰️ This achievement marks a significant milestone in space communication and satellite technology. The Starlink constellation is proving to be not only a game-changer for global internet accessibility but also a platform for innovative applications such as direct text messaging via satellite. Kudos to the brilliant minds at SpaceX for pushing the boundaries of what's possible in space technology. This accomplishment paves the way for a future where seamless communication is not bound by terrestrial limitations. 🚀🌍 #SpaceX #Starlink #SatelliteTechnology #Innovation #SpaceCommunication

Elon Musk’s SpaceX launches first phone service satellites #Trending #new #X #elonmusk #Spacex #business Cell Towers in the Sky: SpaceX Beams Phone Signals Directly to Smartphones from Space! #SignalBarsFromSaturn #DialingFromDeepSpace #➡️️ #GoodbyeCellTowers #HelloSpacePhones 🪐✨ Remember those annoying "No Signal" bars on your phone in remote areas? Well, say goodbye to dead zones! SpaceX just launched a game-changer: satellites that beam phone signals directly to your smartphone from space! Yep, you read that right. Elon Musk's spacefaring company has partnered with T-Mobile to bring cell service to even the most desolate corners of the Earth. No more dropped calls on mountain hikes or missed texts in rural areas! #StarlinkDirectToCell #TMobileGoesSpaceX #RuralConnectivity #BridgingTheDigitalDivide #ElonMusk Here's the scoop: SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday, carrying the first batch of these special Starlink satellites equipped with "Direct to Cell" technology. These satellites orbit in low-Earth orbit, acting as cell towers in the sky, connecting your phone directly to the network. #AskSpaceX #ShareYourDeadZoneStory #WhereWillYouUseSpacePhone #TheFutureIsWireless #LetsGetConnected The service starts with text messaging, but voice and data are on the way in the coming years. T-Mobile will start field testing "soon," so stay tuned!

Casual observers in this sector completely miss the important stuff. The challenge of low-orbit satellite business lies in dynamic network routing - being able to provide more data to more diversely-connected endpoints. While this move by Starlink approaches this problem by simplifying "last mile" delivery (from satellite to end terminal), the real winner will be company that perfects intersatellite links - like those that Kuiper just tested in orbit. It is not clear if SpaceX achieved ISL yet. Without ISL, low-orbit network will not be able to operate to its full capacity without enormous investment in terrestrial gateways. https://lnkd.in/eASH7bTA

Starlink satellite deployed successfully by SpaceX| Everything you need to know! Latest Endeavor of Starlink Satellites by Elon Musk Elon Musk's SpaceX has embarked on a groundbreaking project with the recent launch of Starlink satellites. This venture marks a significant leap forward in satellite technology, particularly with the introduction of "Direct-to-Cell" capabilities. The initial set of Starlink internet satellites has been deployed aboard SpaceX rockets, providing a new frontier for global network connectivity. The project, initiated in 2024, involves collaboration with a U.S. wireless carrier to utilize Starlink satellites for direct-to-cell connectivity. This innovation allows mobile users to access network services in remote or underserved areas. Notably, SpaceX has permission to deploy a substantial number of Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit, aiming to enhance global internet coverage. Elon Musk's aerospace company continues to push boundaries, launching 21 new Starlink satellites, including six with Direct-To-Cell capabilities. This development opens new possibilities for satellite communication, particularly in bridging connectivity gaps and offering innovative solutions for smartphone users. Follow Solutyics for more!

SpaceX has launched a rocket carrying the first set of Starlink satellites that can beam signals directly to smartphones from space. The company has partnered with wireless carriers to provide network access via Starlink satellites to phone users in "dead zones." T-Mobile US confirms that the satellites are in low-Earth orbit, and field testing of the direct-to-cell service will begin "soon." Users can stay connected even in the most remote areas, meaning that dead zones may no longer exist. Text messaging will be the service's initial offering, and voice and data capabilities will follow in the coming years. SpaceX plans to scale the project rapidly, and other wireless providers worldwide will collaborate with SpaceX to launch direct-to-cell technology. Exciting times ahead! #satellitecommunications #spacex

2nd Generational Heir to Nikola Tesla, 1st to Drazen, World's leading authority on CTP Energy Science, C-domain Communication™, CTP (anti)gravitic & FTL propulsion. Architect of the Nth Industrial Revolution™
Think this is something? How about CTP-next level? Each #CTPcraft will also include its own internal C-domain Communications™ #technologies and #CTPtech that will allow for CTP crews to communicate with other #CTPcraft crew and occupants in other #CTPcraft instantaneously between each other or Earth-based C-transceivers... even light-years apart from one another. While we cannot call this 'subspace communication' certain aspects of CTPSci sciences have or share certain similarities to 'Trek-tech' but the 'way' the CTPSci sciences and future CTPSci applications will work will be much much different. #startrek #futurespace #futurevision #deeptech #newspaceeconomy #CTPSpace
