5G technology, which has alternatives such as high bandwidth, continues to affect the smartphone world. While many smartphone manufacturers continue their production in this area, companies are in a race in the distribution part of the business.
Lynk Global, AST SpaceMobile, SpaceX and more take 5G technology service into space
Mobile network coverage is expanding day by day. However, this area still makes up only 10 percent of the Earth’s surface. So much so that there are many living areas where there is no coverage. The companies state that this coverage can be increased to a certain level with long structures.
Companies such as Lynk Global, AST SpaceMobile and SpaceX are competing fiercely to create a structure that can provide 5G technology service to space. In April this year, Lynk Global launched its first direct mobile commercial satellite with a Falcon 9 rocket. The company has filed with the FCC to provide 5G technology.
AST SpaceMobile is preparing to sign an important project at the beginning of September. The company has made the BlueWalker 3 test satellite ready in Cape Canaveral, Florida to provide its 5G technology service. So much so that the company introduced the first and only directly accessible space-based cellular broadband network in the past weeks.
Elon Musk, who has signed projects without borders in many areas of technology, of course, does not fall behind in this regard. But SpaceX’s way of eating yogurt is a little different. The company currently provides space-based internet service with the Starlink project. However, this service is not suitable for mobile network connections. Starlink has filed an application with the FCC for the Starlink Mobile Service under the name Dish’s 2GHz Spectrum.
