Elon is about to send SHOCKWAVES around the nation! ๐บ๐ธ
Starlink Mobile's next-gen satellites start launching in 2027
SpaceX could take "quite a few" customers from AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Those three bring in about $600 billion a year combined
THIS IS HUGE.
Don't bet against @ElonMusk.
SpaceX has just officially received FCC approval to acquire three additional spectrum licenses from Tristar to expand its upcoming next-gen @Starlink Mobile network.
The licenses cover 15 MHz of spectrum in the 1695โ1710 MHz band.
The FCC also granted waivers allowing SpaceX to use the spectrum for satellite communications instead of building traditional cell towers.
This approval comes just two weeks after SpaceX announced an agreement to acquire nationwide 800 MHz low-band spectrum to improve indoor coverage and outlined plans to combine its satellite constellation with terrestrial infrastructure.
Starlink Mobile will become the first network operator to deploy both satellite and terrestrial spectrum: "One network that provides Americans with a reliable service indoors, outdoors, in cellular dead zones, and everywhere in between."
