In a live event today, T‑Mobile and SpaceX announced Coverage Above and Beyond: a breakthrough new plan to bring cell phone connectivity nearly everywhere.
“The vast majority of smartphones already on T-Mobile’s network will be compatible with the new service using the device’s existing radio.”
“Text messaging, including SMS, MMS and participating messaging apps, will empower customers to stay connected and share experiences nearly everywhere.”
Yeah, this is interesting, and apparently based on some micro-sat company’s technology that SpaceX bought 1-2 years ago.
What makes you think that? I guess you’re talking about Swarm Technologies? I don’t think that is what the T-Mobile announcement is about though… it sounds like that network is for extremely low bandwidth sensors etc rather than something as big as MMS and other messaging apps.
