Cell Towers in Space! Starlink Expands Direct to Cell Testing

Starlink is asking the FCC for approval to test their Direct-to-Cell technology in more countries around the world. According to the FCC filing, Starlink wants to experiment in Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Starlink Direct-to-Cell allows normal cellphones to connect directly with Starlink Direct-to-Cell equipped satellites, to enable basic connectivity anywhere in the world, even where traditional cell coverage doesn't exist.

You are in Waco? The world leader providing FULL broadband cellular service via satellite is headquartered in Midland, Texas. That’s where they build their satellites. Welcome to ASTS Space Mobile!

I was with TMobile for years in Houston area, moved to TX Hill Country and could not get signals over 40% of the time. Moved to Cricket and no issues. I have Starlink access and love it, but going backwards to TMobile? Not yet

ASTS Space Mobile is so far ahead of StarLink it isn’t funny.
