Skylo set to offer voice calls via satellite connection

Skylo, which styles itself as a pioneer in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications, says it has made the first satellite-borne voice calls using NB-NTN (narrowband-NTN) technology, and is teasing a rapid rollout in countries where it already has regulatory approval.

The firm told us that the exact timeline will depend on a number of factors, but it expects to see adoption by next year.
