SpaceX has successfully tested the satellite-based internet services for people who live in remote areas and do not have access to high-speed internet facilities. The small antenna disk can be installed anywhere in the open space and connect with the high-speed internet facilities broadcasted through the satellite.
After the launch of the Starlink satellites in orbit, SpaceX has been upgrading its services with the new small satellite launch to cover the entire globe.
In a recent development, SpaceX has announced that they are working on internet services for phone users directly broadcasted through space. The Starlink satellites will beam down the signals to the users without any intervention from the third-party service provider.
There is no need for infrastructure development to establish connections on the ground phone networks. The users can opt for the SpaceX wifi broadcasting services, and they will have access to the high-speed internet facility.
Initially, the wireless services will be offered to mobile users in the US. Network testing, user load balance, and all other significant upgrades will be tested in the country before deploying the services to other parts of the earth.
According to T-Mobile US, SpaceX has launched a Falcon 9 rocket to develop the first set of Starlink Satellites that will test the beaming of phone signals to ground-based smartphone devices.
The US wireless carrier uses the Elon Musk-owned SpaceX Starlink satellites to offer seamless and high-speed wireless internet facilities to mobile users worldwide.
There is also news coming from the top wireless network service provider in other countries, which says that companies like Japan’s KDDI, Australia’s Optus, New Zealand One NZ, Canada’s Rogers and many others will form a collaboration with SpaceX to get direct to-cell wifi network facilities using SpaceX satellite networks.
The direct-to-cell network beaming service will be tested with the text message at the first. Once the text messaging is successful, the next step will be voice message transportation to check the capability of the network on the ground-based smartphone devices.
Development in the area is at a fast pace. Thus, within a few years, we will have the technology to beam the singles directly to smartphone devices.
SpaceX’s satellite launch business has been successful and has built great hope for the future development of technology. The speed it has achieved in recent years in technology development has helped businesses solve several problems.
The launch of high-speed wifi technology in the areas where no network facilities were available earlier offered hope for the development of the region. In the war zone region, such as in the Ukraine war, we have seen that the SpaceX team deployed SpaceX wifi services to support the locals in staying connected.
Having a high-speed network in a war zone-like area gives hope to stay positive. Also, connectivity between the families trapped in the region helps them to be aware of the situation around them.
SpaceX team have been consistently working towards making the technology accessible to many people. We are helping people experiencing poverty to get internet facilities in remote regions with the small disk antenna device.
Schools and universities in regions far from the cities could now connect with global information through Internet facilities. The education system will have a better infrastructure as the network will be beamed directly to the users’ mobile phones.
Global internet service providers have come forward to collaborate with SpaceX to employ the facilities in the region. As we can see, more and more companies have tied up with SpaceX in the technology transformation, and the facilities will be available sooner than expected.
As per T-Mobile, the initial facilities will be limited to text messaging through the Satellites network. The limitation is added while testing the services using smartphone devices. It will help the company to check the latency rate and take action on future development.
Once the text messaging facilities are perfected, the next move will be to deploy the voice messaging facilities. At every step, the system will be tested for its potential. Necessary upgrades will be performed during the test, and the technology will be perfected to meet the user’s demands.
SpaceX team are optimistic about the launch of their new products for smartphone users. After establishing the Wifi services, the team already have the infrastructure ready to deploy the satellite-based technology. If the company successfully offers satellite-based internet facilities to smartphone users, it could encash massive revenue from the smartphone user community all across the globe.
Companies also know the importance of offering the services to smartphone users. Thus, they are working hard to make the dream a reality and make the facility available as early as possible. Every necessary step is taken to ensure the facility doesn’t harm the environment because the beaming facilities generally produce high frequencies of radio waves.
It could harm the environment, especially the birds who navigate using the earth’s magnetic field. Interference of radio waves in the atmosphere would pose challenges for living beings. The company will take care of all the necessary aspects before making it available to many people.
