SpaceX Secures Low‑Band Spectrum to Launch Starlink Mobile as Major U.S. Carrier

SpaceX has secured a portfolio of low‑band spectrum licenses, including up to 14 MHz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band, to launch its Starlink Mobile service as a major U. S. carrier. The company says the new spectrum will allow its satellite‑to‑mobile signals to penetrate walls and buildings, improving coverage in urban and indoor environments. Once the Federal Communications Commission approves the licenses, SpaceX plans to deploy an integrated network that blends its satellite constellation with a terrestrial mobile infrastructure, positioning itself to compete directly with T‑Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. The move marks a significant expansion of SpaceX’s telecommunications ambitions beyond satellite broadband.
