In 2024, the service will be limited to text messages, and in 2025, voice and data capabilities will be added, as well as the ability to transfer files.
SpaceX will launch Starlink Direct to Cell service to mobile devices, which will provide connectivity to existing LTE phones via satellite. The Verge reported it.
In 2024, the service will be limited to text messages, and in 2025, voice, data and file transfer capabilities will be added.
“Direct to Cell works with existing LTE phones wherever you can see the sky. No hardware changes, firmware or special applications are required,” SpaceX said on its website.
The company, along with US partner T-Mobile, announced plans for the service last year. The service will likely be relatively slow by Earth standards, with speeds ranging from two to four megabits per second, but will have the advantage of wide coverage.
We remind you that SpaceX launched the next group of Starlink satellites of 22 devices.
As reported, the startup Humane presented the “smartphone of the future”, which does not need a screen – the device projects a picture in the hand.
