SpaceX announced on Thursday that it will acquire nationwide licenses to use part of the 800 MHz wireless band, a move that will help Starlink Mobile expand its service in the US and help it “become a major mobile carrier.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company said the deal covers up to 14 megahertz of paired low-band spectrum. Once it receives final approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), SpaceX plans to combine the new terrestrial network with its satellite-to-mobile constellation. The 800 MHz spectrum “will provide a coverage layer that ensures Starlink Mobile’s signal penetrates through obstacles, such as walls, and can provide service to customers’ devices even when they are in buildings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The firm also said this week the FCC approved Starlink Mobile’s Gen2 constellation, allowing it to launch 15,000 satellites “optimized for 2 GHz spectrum globally.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
