March 14, 2023: -On Monday, SpaceX plans to start testing its Starlink satellite-to-cell service with T-Mobile in 2023, an executive of Elon Musk’s firm stated.
“We will have to learn a lot by doing and getting out there,” the SpaceX vice president of Starlink enterprise sales, Jonathan Hofeller, stated on a panel at the Satellite of 2023 meeting in Washington, D.C.
The business of space-based data services directly to devices on the ground, such as smartphones, is widely considered to have lucrative potential, with various satellite firms partnering with terrestrial mobile network operators and device creators to fill in coverage gaps across the Earth.
SpaceX and T-Mobile stated that their partnership in August, which vows to “end mobile dead zones.”

SpaceX has launched 4,000 Starlink satellites to date and rolled out its more powerful “V2 Mini” satellites, which it stated have quadrupled the capacity of the previous generation.
On Monday, Hofeller said that SpaceX manufactures six satellites daily at its facility near Seattle and thinks it is no longer manufacturing its last 1.5 series of Starlink satellites. He said the company is also producing “thousands” of user terminals daily.
While SpaceX is thinking of making even more extensive next-generation satellites and has “made a few” so far, Hofeller focused that launching those is “tied very closely to Starship,” the firm’s towering rocket still pending to reach space.
SpaceX has exceeded 1 million Starlink users, and Hofeller stated that having passed that milestone in December. The company recently announced that its Starlink business “had a positive cash flow quarter” in 2022, aiming for the firm to “make money” in 2023.

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.
