AT&T Plans to Support Remote Calls and Texts With Satellites, Too

imdb · Oct 8, 2022

T-Mobile announced back in August that it'll be teaming up with SpaceX to use its Starlink microsatellite network for emergency mobile network coverage. But AT&T is cooking up its own partnership, to use AST SpaceMobile's satellite network to provide coverage in hard-to-reach areas of the US.

AT&T will use AST SpaceMobile's network to supplement its mobile network, but only for emergencies at first, including for its FirstNet network for emergency responders. But later, the carrier will use the satellite network to help connect consumer communications, as Bloomberg reported earlier.

AT&T will start testing satellite integrations with its mobile network later this year in Hawaii and Texas, the carrier confirmed to CNET. It isn't yet a done deal yet, though: Should the testing be successful and the integration be commercially viable, and if AT&T and AST SpaceMobile can hammer out an agreeable arrangement, then the plan will go forward using satellite coverage to fill in the gaps for the carrier's mobile network.
