SpaceX is constantly deploying new satellites to increase connectivity around the world. By integrating satellite technology with the existing mobile network, the service offers text messages, calling, and data services without any special hardware or apps.
Apart from expanding mobile coverage, direct-to-cell technology can also prove to be very useful in emergencies. Usually, when a disaster like cyclone or earthquake occurs, there is a problem like mobile tower collapse, problem in wiring or malfunction.
But if the phones are connected to the satellite network, connectivity will remain operational even at the site of the disaster and emergency services support will be available without delay.In addition to expanding mobile coverage, the direct-to-cell service will also offer connectivity to millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. SpaceX claims that no special or additional hardware is required to connect devices through this technology. Users will continue to get uninterrupted connectivity during emergencies, especially while traveling in rural areas or dead zones.SpaceX is currently manufacturing advanced rockets and spacecraft.
Elon Musk’s company is also launching spacecraft and rockets to deploy Starlink satellites. Direct-to-cell satellites will currently be launched on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Starship.If Elon Musk’s technology succeeds, then the future of technology will definitely be changed completely. This will have a profound impact on the telecom industry and the need for mobile towers may gradually end.Starlink is a satellite internet service through which high-speed data is provided in more than 100 countries. Unlike cable-based broadband services, Starlink works anywhere where there is a direct view of the sky.
