WASHINGTON — SpaceX plans to begin testing its Starlink satellite-to-cell service with T-Mobile
this year, an executive of Elon Musk’s company said Monday.
SpaceX and T-Mobile announced their partnership in August, vowing to “end mobile dead zones.”
SpaceX has launched about 4,000 Starlink satellites to date, and recently rolled out its more powerful “V2 Mini” satellites, which it says have quadruple the capacity of the previous generation.
While SpaceX plans to make even larger second-generation satellites, and has “made a few” so far, Hofeller emphasized that launching those is “tied very closely to Starship,” the company’s towering rocket that has yet to reach space.
SpaceX has “well over” 1 million Starlink users, Hofeller said, having passed that milestone in December. The company recently announced that its Starlink business "had a cash flow positive quarter” in 2022, and it is aiming for the unit to “make money” in 2023.
