satellite internet service, has now revealed Starlink Direct to Cell, its new satellite phone service. This comes after the aerospace company had originally announced that it would collaborate with American telecommunications giant T-Mobile to provide satellite coverage for T-Mobile users with the Starlink satellite fleet.
If you were to head over to the Starlink website, you’ll find a new page for Direct to Cell. According to Starlink, their satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities will allow for ‘ubiquitous coverage’ access for texting, calling and internet browsing, regardless of your location even in remote regions. It will also allow internet-of-things devices to connect to the Direct to Cell service as long as they support common LTE services.
Starlink’s website also highlights how this is possible. Their satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities apparently feature an advanced eNodeB modem onboard, which can double as a cell tower in space. This allows network integration for users as though they’re connecting to a standard roaming partner. This will also apparently work on any existing smartphone with LTE support—as long as you can see the sky of course.
When Starlink Direct to Cell does roll out some time next year, it will first be available for T-Mobile users in the continental US, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and the US territorial waters. However, it seems that Starlink will be expanding Direct to Cell to other countries too, with their website having already listed several other telcos from countries around the world as partners.
