SpaceX has revealed that they’ll aim to launch the first batch of their “greatly enhanced<\/em>” second generation (GEN2) Direct to Cell<\/strong><\/a> (DtC) capable broadband satellites in 2027 (probably Q4). The current service offers basic global coverage of a 4G<\/a> mobile roaming service to unmodified Smartphones on the ground, typically alongside supporting mobile operators (e.g. O2<\/a> in the UK).<\/p>\n

Starlink<\/a> currently has around 9,500 satellites<\/strong><\/a> in Low Earth Orbit (c.6,000 are v2 \/ GEN2 variants) \u2013 mostly at altitudes of between c.340-525km. Residential customers in the UK usually pay from \u00a355 a month for the \u2018Residential Lite<\/em>\u2019 unlimited data plan (kit price may vary due to different offers), which promises downloads of up to 200Mbps (previously 250Mbps) and uploads of c.15-35Mbps. Faster packages exist at greater cost, while cheaper, albeit more restrictive (data capped), options also exist for roaming users (e.g. \u00a350 per month for 50 GigaBytes of data).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> By the end of 2025 Starlink<\/a>\u2019s global network had 9 million customers (up from 6m in July 2025). The service had 110,000 customers in the UK as of July 2025 (up from 87,000 in 2024) \u2013 mostly in rural areas.<\/div>\n

However, approximately 650 of their active satellites currently also support DtC (aka – Direct-to-Device) technology, which enables them to work with mobile operator’s (e.g. O2 Satellite<\/strong><\/a> due to launch soon) to offer a basic 4G<\/a> style connectivity solution. This ensures customers can stay connected, for basic tasks (calls, texts and pre-approved data apps\/tasks), even in remote areas where terrestrial mobile signals are often weak or non-existent.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Starlink<\/a> has long planned to make the service much more capable (likely harnessing the spectrum they will acquire from EchoStar<\/strong>), particularly in terms of mobile broadband performance. Elon Musk has even hinted that the company may launch its own mobile service directly for consumers (here<\/a>), which could put them into the awkward position of competing with their existing partners (mobile operators).<\/p>\n

Whatever the goal, Starlink will need to launch an enhanced set of DtC capable satellites to deliver on their ambitions and a new regulatory filing with the FCC<\/a> (credits to PC Mag<\/a>) gives us an idea of when to expect them.<\/p>\n

Extract from the FCC Document<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most significantly, the first commercial service to provide global coverage for satellite<\/a> messaging, data, and voice service directly to ordinary mobile phones has already been deployed and is rapidly expanding. SpaceX\u2019s first generation Supplemental Coverage from Space (\u201cSCS\u201d) service launched in the U.S. in partnership with T-Mobile in July 2025 and has already expanded to 22 countries, providing coverage to over 400 million people, with more than 6 million customers accessing the service each month. But this is only the beginning: SpaceX has also invested in spectrum that will enable it to launch a greatly enhanced second generation direct-to-device system in 2027.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At present we don’t have a lot of solid details on the GEN2 DtC satellites, although it’s understood that they’ll be aiming to deliver 5G<\/a>-like connectivity and an overall capacity increase of more than 100 times that of the first-generation constellation, as well as more than 20 times the throughput capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
