T-Mobile and SpaceX's Technology Alliance Announcement and What It Means for Satellite and Mobile Networks and Services
This IDC Market Note discusses T-Mobile and SpaceX's technology alliance announcement to expand cell phone reach and resiliency in the United States, leveraging Starlink's constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and T-Mobile's wireless network to address mobile dead zone areas. This announcement signals important new opportunities for both the telecom and satellite providers' collaboration to address the untapped opportunity with satellite-to-cellular connectivity. However, it raises the question of how the competition is positioned to address this opportunity.
