Last week Starlink i first six satellites which have the specific task of providing a satellite connection to mobile devices. Starlink refers to these devices as cell towers in space, and they're not entirely wrong.

The point in favor of this solution is undoubtedly the possibility of having it Mobile connection everywhereeven in areas where land juts out they are not present or down for some reason. This is the same added value in connectivity that Starlink offers for landline devices, for example for home use.
