SpaceX selected Qualcomm to supply technology for Starlink Mobile's U.S. 5G ground network
Qualcomm said SpaceX plans to begin its nationwide U.S. rollout in 2027, with tens of thousands of sites under a multi-year agreement
SpaceX is reportedly in discussions with EchoStar to acquire its wireless service Boost Mobile or gain access to its network, according to the Washington Post. The talks, which have been ongoing for months, aim to enable SpaceX to launch its own wireless service using a combination of satellite and terrestrial infrastructure, according to people familiar with the negotiations.
SpaceX, under the leadership of Elon Musk, is developing a hybrid satellite-terrestrial mobile network called Starlink Mobile in an effort to compete directly with major US wireless providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The company's interest in Boost Mobile stems from its existing lease of the network from AT&T and T-Mobile. SpaceX and EchoStar have not yet commented on the reported talks.
