2 weeks agoSkylo 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. If it arrives somewhere soon, Skylo will be the first to provide commercial voice services over satellite via ordinary smartphones. The firm told us that the exact timeline will depend on a number of factors, but it expects to see adoption by next year.
