Who else allows you to use an unmodified (hardware or firmware) cell phone? Certainly not Iridium. You have to have a specific iPhone 14 that was updated to support Globalstar and using it is awkward. I can't use an old iPhone or my Samsung phone. Other players have had single test satellites that again required a modified phone.
- paxys 3y agoOld iPhones or Samsung phones (aka without some specific 5G radios) aren't going to be able to use this either.
- panick21_ 3y agoTheir are other compnies in this space that have done the same. But non are commercially operational. AST and SpaceX are the leaders in this space as far as I know.
