Elon Musk's satellite internet service provider company Starlink may soon start its broadband service in India. The company is waiting for the green signal from TRAI and spectrum allocation. Starlink is also testing satellite cell service during this period. The company has partnered with American telecom service provider T-Mobile for this. After completion of testing, satellite calling service can also be started along with Starlink broadband.
FCC gave approval
Starling and T-Mobile have received approval from the American agency FCC. The company has started registration for this. Those who want to test this service can register for T-Mobile Starlink direct-to-sell service. The first beta test of this service will be done in 2025, in which the focus will be on text messages first. After this voice and data connectivity will be tested. Limited spots are available for its beta testing. However, service providers will first select registering agencies and individuals for testing.
Connectivity will be available without mobile tower
There is a preparation to provide coverage up to 5 lakh square miles away from America through Starlink satellite. Terrestrial mobile towers will not be used for this service. Users will be able to establish communication from their phones through satellite service. For this neither mobile network nor SIM card will be required. Communication can be done as soon as you enable satellite service in your smartphone.
This satellite-to-cell service of Starlink will be integrated with the existing network of American telecom operator T-Mobile so that users can use it along with regular cellular service. Starlink's satellite-to-cell service will be especially beneficial in remote areas where mobile networks are not available. Users will be able to communicate through this service. After beta testing this service can be launched commercially. After the testing of Starlink's satellite-to-cell service is successful, it can be launched in other countries also.
