Starlink just launched its first European satellite-to-phone service. Today. Virgin Media O2 switched on O2 Satellite on February 26. It is the first commercial satellite-to-smartphone data service in the UK and in all of Europe. Powered by Starlink Direct to Cell. What it does: If you're an O2 customer with a Samsung Galaxy S25, your phone automatically connects to Starlink satellites when you move beyond traditional cell coverage. No special hardware. No satellite phone. Your regular smartphone connects directly to space. O2's UK landmass coverage jumped overnight from 89% to 95%. That's new connectivity across an area roughly two-thirds the size of Wales, according to Virgin Media O2. At launch, the service supports text messaging and a limited set of apps including WhatsApp, Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, and X. Standard voice calls are not yet supported. Speeds are estimated around 4Mbps. More devices and apps are expected to follow. 650+ Starlink satellites now support Direct to Cell. SpaceX has signed 11 carrier partnerships to date, with similar services already live in the U.S. through T-Mobile. £3 per month. That's what O2 is charging to keep you connected in places where there was zero signal yesterday. Starlink is becoming the invisible backup layer for phone networks worldwide

Starlink direct-to-cell is now live for Globe customers in the Philippines. A very big deal when your country has 7,600+ islands. Standard LTE and 5G Android phones can now connect to satellites for messaging and light data where cell towers do not exist. No special phone. No dramatic mountain hike for signal. No “stand by the window and pray.” Just the phone you already have. And the sky doing the rest. Starlink / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

BREAKING: Venezuela approves Starlink-powered Direct-to-Device testing to support post-earthquake communications. 🇻🇪 • Venezuela’s telecom regulator, CONATEL, approved a temporary 3-month pilot for Movistar/Telefónica to test Starlink-powered Direct-to-Device connectivity. • The pilot will use SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation. • It is designed to let mobile phones connect directly with satellites. • Testing is focused on La Guaira, one of the earthquake-affected areas. • This will help people stay connected when cell towers, fiber, or ground networks are damaged. Starlink is proving once again that satellite connectivity can become a lifeline when disaster strikes.

STARLINK IN-AIR WIFI GETS MEANER WITH EVERY SATELLITE LAUNCH Bad signal? That's no excuse. Starlink just launched another fix! Signal Spike: •⁠ ⁠More satellites = more speed, everywhere •⁠ ⁠Flights now hitting 250 Mbps down, 30 up •⁠ ⁠Proves Wi-Fi doesn’t have to suck at 30,000 feet Starlink keeps scaling until “bad internet” sounds like a lame excuse – even on United Airlines!

You thought the sky was the limit? Wingbits is going to space 🚀 thanks to a strategic partnership with Spire, leader in space-based data and operator of the largest multipurpose satellite constellation. 🛰️ Together we’re launching a new satellite that will act as a validator of Wingbits’ ground data, increasing the security and reliability of our global flight tracking network. The satellite is scheduled for launch on the SpaceX Transporter-13 mission.

Here’s how Starlink next‑generation V3’s laser network works in space Each Starlink V3 satellite is equipped with six high-capacity space lasers capable of operating at up to 400 Gbps These laser links connect satellites directly to one another, creating a fast, high-bandwidth and resilient mesh network in orbit that can route massive amounts of data around the planet without relying entirely on nearby ground stations That means more network capacity, faster data routing, greater reliability and stronger connectivity across remote and hard-to-reach regions Starlink V3 is not just a more powerful satellite It is a major upgrade to the internet infrastructure being built in space

Well, that was fast! TERAFAB already has it's first infrastructure project installed ... a Starlink Ground Station! What is this. you may ask? A Starlink ground station (or gateway) is a terrestrial facility with multiple satellite dishes that connects SpaceX's LEO satellite constellation. Starbase has one. The Bastrop Starlink factory has one and now TERAFAB has one! Check it out!

SpaceX is bringing Starlink to emergency teams across Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 This is where Starlink becomes more than internet. It becomes a literal lifeline When hurricanes hit, fiber can go down, cell towers can fail, and entire communities can lose communication exactly when they need it most Governor Jenniffer González Colón announced that SpaceX is donating Starlink satellite antennas to Puerto Rico’s Emergency Management Bureau and helping equip emergency management offices across all 78 municipalities That means first responders can stay connected during outages Rescue teams can coordinate Families can get help faster Recovery can move quicker This is the real power of Starlink Not just connecting homes, planes, ships, and remote schools But keeping the signal alive when everything else goes dark
