Lynk Successfully Deploys Two More Orbital ‘Cell Phone Towers in Space’
March 12, 2024
Newly launched satellites advance Lynk’s mission to connect everyone, everywhere
Falls Church, VA—March 12, 2024—Lynk Global, Inc. (“Lynk”), the world’s leading satellite-direct-to-mobile-phone (“Sat2Phone”) telecoms provider, today announced the successful deployment of two more “cell-towers-in-space.” The satellites will further Lynk’s efforts to provide universal mobile connectivity. The two satellite cell towers were launched on the Transporter–10 rideshare mission launched by
SpaceX on March 4 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
“The successful deployment of our latest cell towers in space furthers our mission to connect everyone, everywhere. It also continues our momentum to enable Sat2Phone services globally as each satellite enhances our network resiliency and increases our mobile coverage,” said Lynk CTO and co-founder Tyghe Speidel. Speidel continued “these satellites also have new capabilities and improvements across many systems compared to our previous birds … a fast rate of innovation at lower costs is enabled by our strategy of rapidly-iterating satellite technology.”
Since deployment on orbit, these satellites have been in contact with Lynk’s ground operations and are progressing through their commissioning process. Once cleared for operational service, these satellites will provide mobile connectivity, eventually serving all of Lynk’s 40 plus mobile network operator partners spanning Earth. Lynk’s previously launched satellites have proven their capability across the globe. Lynk believes it remains the only company in the world to receive a commercial license for Sat2Phone service from the Federal Communications Commission and is currently providing commercial service to Lynk’s global customer network around the world.

Lynk Announces Sat2Phone Contract with U.S. Government
DISA Agreement with Lynk is a “First of its Kind”
Falls Church, VA – April 24, 2024–Lynk Global, Inc. (Lynk), the world’s leading satellite-direct-to-standard-phone service (sat2phone) provider, today announced that it has signed a contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide commercial sat2phone services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other U.S. government agencies.
This contract enables DoD, DHS and other U.S. government agencies to commercially purchase sat2phone services for the next 5 years, and includes an option to extend the contract 5 more years. Services available under the contract include SMS text messaging, emergency cell broadcast alerts, and LynkCast weather & information broadcast services.
Margo Deckard, Lynk’s co-founder and COO said, “Lynk will enable U.S. government agencies to access life-saving emergency communications to help the American people when terrestrial mobile networks are non-existent or have failed. DISA and U.S. Space Force will save lives through the Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) contract vehicle.” Deckard added, “We are humbled to serve the people who risk their lives for the American people.”
The U.S. government is the world’s largest customer of commercial satellite communications, and buys those services through DISA. In 2022, DISA released a PLEO satellite services solicitation for the first time. Of the 20 companies that received DISA PLEO awards, Lynk is the only firm which received a contract for sat2phone connectivity.
Charles Miller, Lynk’s co-founder and CEO added “The U.S. Department of Defense has been field testing Lynk’s technology for several years. We are deeply grateful for the trust that the DoD has given to Lynk with their decision to give us the first-ever sat2phone contract.” Miller continued, “This contract will enable the nearly three million men and women in the DoD to use the existing phone in their pockets to stay connected everywhere. No matter what happens.”
