Amazon has filed an FCC application for a 5,105-satellite LEO network that will use Globalstar spectrum to power next-generation iPhone satellite features, including Emergency SOS, Messages, and Find My. Satellite deployments are expected to begin in 2028, following Amazon’s planned acquisition of Globalstar in 2027. The move signals that satellite connectivity is on track to become a standard fallback layer inside every flagship smartphone.
The satellite war between LEO providers like Starlink and traditional carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon is already underway — and the carriers may be losing ground faster than they realize.

With AT&T’s advancements, first responders can rely on a more robust communication infrastructure during emergencies, ensuring reliable connections through AT&T’s network. That is why AT&T’s FirstNet team […]
