spaceX receives conditional FCC approval for direct-to-smartphone satellite service
The FCC has granted SpaceX conditional approval to use Starlink satellites for direct-to-smartphone services in partnership with T-Mobile, aiming to connect users in cellular dead zones. This initiative allows SpaceX to operate up to 7,500 Gen2 satellites at lower altitudes to reduce latency, while ensuring no interference with existing networks. The approval follows successful emergency connectivity efforts during recent hurricanes and paves the way for similar partnerships with other mobile carriers globally.
