Technical News Office – Technology is becoming more advanced every day. Elon Musk’s Starlink recently did something that makes it seem like mobile towers are going to “disappear.” In fact, the company announced the launch of direct sales satellite technology. This advanced technology can connect smartphones directly to satellite, bypassing traditional mobile towers. The initiative aims to bring connectivity to areas where there is no regular network coverage.
A satellite network faster than fiber internet?
Starlink is rapidly strengthening its satellite network. According to a report from TweakTown, users currently enjoy speeds of up to 250-350 Mbps from the satellite network, which is faster than many fiber optic internets. For example, the fiber optic network speed in South Australia is 50-60 Mbps. Not only that, Starlink has also confirmed its partnership with many major telecom companies. This announcement was also shared by Elon Musk.
What is direct sales technology?
This technology is considered revolutionary because it can create a direct connection between satellite and smartphone without conventional cell towers. With the help of this technology, you will enjoy excellent connectivity even in rural and hilly areas. It is planned to be further improved for texting, calling and data services by 2025. This system from SpaceX combines mobile network and satellite technology, so users do not need to no special hardware or applications.
Millions of IoT devices will be connected
Direct sales technology will provide coverage in areas where the network does not reach. This technology will improve industrial and global operations by connecting millions of IoT devices. Additionally, this technology will provide better connectivity to users when traveling in emergency situations, in rural or unnetworked areas.
