Hello,
Are you aware of any cellular towers that use Starlink as their only
connection?
Telegeography reports about the first such cellular tower in Japan:
KDDI (au) has announced that its first mobile tower using SpaceX’s
Starlink high speed, low-latency satellite broadband internet solution
has started commercial operation in Hatsushima, a remote island in
Sagami Bay. Launched today (1 December), the new service ultimately aims
to deliver an advanced mobile service to people living in remote and
rural areas, through the deployment of up to 1,200 Starlink-powered
mobile towers.
Now I wonder if they are the first to do this commercially, or if other
operators have done it already.
Cheers
Daniel
