British group Vodafone Group PLC and Texas Satellite operator AST Spacesmobile want to find a common European satellite provider and offer their services to European mobile network operators (MNOs). European MNO can then book satellites and network capabilities from ASTS and Vodafone through SATCO to supply its own customers by the satellite, ie at least all the unwarded areas under the open air.

Arts and Vodafone are trying to fill a market quickly and dig water like a starlink in Europe. So far, there is still no radio regulation for the European Union (see “See Advanced Funz Regulation in a distance”) and there are only five satellites in art so far.
100 percent coverage in Europe
According to Auto and Vodafone, the seven strives for “100 percent geographical cover in the entire Europe” to the seven consumers and companies to provide access to the “secure place -based cellular broadband connection”.
Sato wants to offer “Turns” services. For this purpose, “a network of ground stations” is to be created that provides backhall services. Vodafone makes the network management.

Vodafone is involved in satellite operator AST anyway, as is Google and some other companies. In the United States, however, Auts have independently performed contracts with AT&T and Verizon with mobile network operators.
Start fast late
Technically, the blue -blue satellites of art are considered progressive; According to Vodafone, they are suitable for both 4G and modern 5G communication and, thanks to their huge antennas (223 square meters space). On this basis, Vodafone and Auts recently performed the first satellite -based video calls with commercially available smartphones.
Service offering to Europe is likely to be prepared for a long time. It is indicated by satellite tracks of the first five bluedes, which offers another slightly to Europe one after the other. Satellite tracks can be used, for example, from web service Isstracker.pl on a world map in real time let.
On the other hand, Starlink is considered a leader in relation to the amount of satellite in the orbit at a large distance (a total of 7052 functional satellites, although it is only part of it on smartphone care). The company has already concluded contracts with several mobile network operators worldwide to supply its customers from space with mobile phone services. So far, however, there are no European network operators. Famous customers include T-Mobile USA (Dutash Telecom’s daughter), Telstra in Australia, Rogers in Canada or salt in Switzerland. Starlink has a current list of its global partners Published on his website in “Global Partner” section,
The DTC satellite was found on a server-managed LTE implementation, especially for the supply of smartphones, especially installed by Starlink. Top data rates are either 4.4 mbit/s or 18.3 mbit/s. Top data rates are rarely available in everyday life. However, throwuput is sufficient for telephony and text messages.
