For the first time in Europe, Dutash Telecom received and sent SMS with commercially available smartphones through a geostationary satellite. The provider has now created this public during MWC and talks about “an important step for the development of future communication services through the satellite”. Earlier, it was successful only with special equipment. From the end of the year, commercial message services are to be offered through satellites for commercially available equipment across Germany and all over Europe, telecom promises. They do not need to exclude them from the convenience, they are required to ensure that “our customers can original at any time”.

As telecom tellsA pixel 9 from Google was used in a test conducted in Greece. It established a direct relationship for a geophysical satellite, on which the provider Skilo Spectrum was booked. The distance of geostation satellites is much larger than satellites in the lowest Earth’s orbit, such as a Starlinks from SpaceX or AST Spasmobile’s communication services. The test of Dutash Telecom was implemented based on the 3GPP release 17 specifications for the Direct-to-Handset Connectivity (D2H), the group still writes.
The company explained a few days ago that Germany’s largest provider does not want to rely on Starlink when it comes to mobile phone coverage of unexpected areas. Even though American assistant T-Mobile has just started a beta test with the same technology. It is also due to conditions in Europe which is very different from those in the United States. In comparatively small Europe, it becomes more difficult than the fact that network operators use various frequencies in neighboring countries due to country -specific radio rules. For Starlink, this means that the 50 -kilometer border strip remains unaffected, which makes the service much more ugly for providers.
In Europe, Telecom will have to defend itself instead of British provider Vodafone. In association with AST Spacesmobile, he wants to capture the market for satellite mobile radio. For this, both want to find a satellite provider and offer their services to European mobile network operators (MNOS). The Texas satellite operator has brought the huge blued satellites into space, which can provide 4G or 5G connections to the smartphone and is believed to be distributing the top data rates of 120 MBIT/S. The Starlink will be much higher than what is making so far.
