With antenna arrays more than 3x larger than the first generation, they deliver broadband internet directly to standard smartphones at speeds up to 200 Mbps β zero special hardware required. The company now has 13 BlueBird satellites in orbit as it builds out a full space-based cellular network. Do you think satellite internet will eventually replace ground towers in rural areas?
