Mobile connectivity breaks down earthly barriers. Thanks to a strategic alliance between Starlink and T-Mobile, smartphone users can directly connect to the satellite network when traditional coverage disappears.
This innovation allows you to maintain vital communication functions in mountainous areas, deserts or busy roads and mark the end of “dead zones” on the map.
HOW DOES THE RED T-SATELLITE WORK?
The system combines SpaceX’s low-orbit satellite array with T-Mobile’s cellular infrastructure.
- Automatic connection: When the phone detects no mobile signal or roaming, it will connect to the red signal marked on the screen as “T-Mobile SpaceX” or “T-Sat+Starlink”.
- Direct-to-Cell Technology: Satellites contain advanced antennas that send and receive data directly to your smartphone.
- Speed and stability: Although slower than 4G/5G, Red prioritizes stability for basic functions. Due to the movement of the satellite, you may find several comments in the menu.
