SpaceX Launches Six Starlink Satellites with Direct-to-Phone Capability

SpaceX has successfully launched six Starlink satellites with direct-to-phone capability.

This launch marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to provide mobile phone access worldwide and offer a solution for areas with inadequate cellular coverage.

The innovative satellites feature advanced modems acting as cellphone towers in space, potentially eliminating cell phone service dead zones on the ground.

This means that users will be able to connect to the satellites using their existing mobile phones, without the need for additional hardware or devices.

SpaceX has partnered with various network providers worldwide, including T-Mobile in the US, to extend Direct to Cell services.

The company plans to collaborate with more providers in the future, similar to global roaming agreements.
