Wireless Wednesday Live: Alice Williams of T-Mobile

Have a listen:

There’s nothing worse than traveling in an unfamiliar area and losing cell service. It seems like no matter how ubiquitous cell phones are, there are still “dead zones” all over the United States. Not anymore.

T-Mobile is now able to take connectivity where it’s never gone before with T-Satellite with Starlink. Going live commercially in late July, the service will extend coverage in the 500,000 square miles of U.S. territory where traditional towers can’t reach. With T-Satellite, T-Mobile is the first and only wireless provider with a satellite-to-mobile network in the U.S. that automatically connects to most smartphones made in the last four years.

With over 650 satellites already in orbit, the beta program has been incredibly successful. More than a million messages have been sent from areas unreachable by any terrestrial provider, from national parks and oil fields to remote corners across the country.
