Co-hosts Patrick Halley, WIA President and CEO, and Leslie Stimson, Inside Towers Washington Bureau Chief, discussed the evolution of satellite-to-phone, direct-to-device (D2D) technology with Tim Farrar, founder of TMF Associates. Tim founded his consultancy in 2002 to undertake technical, market and financial consulting across the satellite and telecom sectors.
In this discussion, Farrar explains how D2D technology allows standard smartphones to access satellite networks, and highlights the limitations of the technology. The conversation also covers the recent announcement of Lynk Global to merge with Omnispace and the challenges of seamless switching between terrestrial and satellite networks.
