SpaceX’s satellite internet unit, Starlink, is considering entering the phone market. The company may launch a direct-to-device internet phone and a space-tracking service, according to Reuters. This move would expand Starlink’s current offerings beyond broadband internet.
Starlink provides satellite-based internet globally and is a significant revenue source for SpaceX. The direct-to-device phone could enhance connectivity by bypassing traditional cellular networks. Meanwhile, the space-tracking service would offer clients the ability to monitor objects in orbit.
These initiatives align with SpaceX’s broader satellite and space technology ambitions. The company has not confirmed any detailed plans or timelines for these products. Starlink’s evolution into new markets could further diversify its business and technological reach.
Starlink’s potential entry into the phone market reflects its effort to expand satellite technology applications, affecting telecommunications and space data services.
