Globe Telecom Inc. said Wednesday it teamed up with satellite communication company Lynk to launch a pilot program that explores using satellites to deliver mobile connectivity in remote areas of the Philippines.
The program will employ Lynk’s Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation to deliver SMS, IP messaging apps and emergency alerts to target regions currently lacking traditional terrestrial network coverage. “Through this satellite-direct-to-phone service, we hope to provide access wherever our customers are, connecting the unconnected through disruptive technology,” he said.
Globe and Lynk successfully sent and received SMS notifications during testing, transmitted messages outside the test location and broadcast emergency alerts via a low Earth orbit satellite using standard mobile phones. The latency was within acceptable limits, and the overall results were promising, they said.
