T-Mobile has announced that it was able to successfully send and receive a wireless emergency alert (WEA) via Starlink satellite. The technology is expected to enter a beta test period before it is launched commercially.
SpaceX’s Starlink terminal factory in Bastrop, Texas, reportedly reached an annual production capacity of 4.6 million units. Based on local comments, Starlink’s TX factory is allegedly capable of producing 90,000 broadband terminals per week.
SpaceX Starlink internet services will face off with Amazon’s LEO (low Earth orbit) internet service, Project Kuiper, in the United Kingdom (UK). Amazon’s Project Kuiper is close to receiving its license from the British telecommunication regulator, Ofcom, to offer services in the UK.
