Mobile service providers are exploring the integration of satellite-to-cellphone services, presenting two paths: allowing satellite operators to use cellular spectrum or using dedicated satellite spectrum. A report from Analysys Mason discusses the benefits and drawbacks of these approaches, highlighting that satellite spectrum offers global alignment and minimizes interference with cellular networks. However, a challenge is the compatibility of current cellphones with this spectrum. As more mobile devices support satellite communication, the potential for expanded services in voice and data will grow, moving beyond current SOS alert limitations.
The growing trend of mobile service providers collaborating with satellite operators presents significant opportunities in direct-to-device services, with the potential to expand beyond emergency alerts.
The use of satellite spectrum is preferred for direct-to-device services due to its reduced interference with cellular networks and global regulatory alignment, though compatibility issues exist.
