September 01, 2022: -SpaceX founder Elon Musk and T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert added that their companies are working to “end mobile dead zones” and will launch a new mobile service enabled by Starlink second-generation satellites and T-Mobile bandwidth.
Starlink is comprised of a network of satellites that SpaceX has launched into low Earth orbit and designed to deliver high-speed internet in remote establishments across the globe. SpaceX has launched more than 2,700 satellites to keep this network.
On Thursday night at the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas, Sievert said T-Mobile would be saving a “slice of its mid-band PCS spectrum” to be incorporated into Starlink satellites is launching in the coming year.
T-Mobile users will be able to utilize messaging, MMS, and specific messaging apps from small points across the lower 48 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, and even some remote issues in the water.
Eventually, the service will work with, state, Sievert said. T-Mobile plans to include the service in its famous mobile plans but does not disclose specific pricing.
Musk said the benefit would work with Starlink’s second-generation satellites, which include giant antennae and can transmit directly to a cell or mobile phone.
The service won’t require mobile users to obtain a new phone. Musk said the planned service should operate even if all the cell buildings are removed in or after a natural catastrophe.
Musk specified, “This won’t have the kind of bandwidth a Starlink terminal will have, but this will enable texting, it will enable images, and if there aren’t too many people in the compartment zone, you can even potentially have a little bit of video.” He added, “We will no longer read about these tragedies where people got lost, an if only they could have called for help, they’d be ok.”
T-Mobile will even offer “reciprocal roaming,” so visitors to the US from outside the country can use the assistance if they partner with SpaceX to enable this service globally. Musk and Sievert invited carriers overseas to join their alliance.
On Thursday, shares of T-Mobile locked up by a moment at $147.07 and were trending slightly higher after hours.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
