| Description | Lynk Tower 01 also known as Shannon is an experimental communications satellite built by Lynk Global Inc. (formerly UbiquiLink) to test communications with standard mobile phones. Lynk is building a network of small satellites to provide affordable cellular coverage to unmodified cellular devices, enabling messaging, data, IoT, and emergency communications everywhere on the planet. These spacecraft have enabled Lynk to conduct the world’s first orbiting cell tower demonstrations for a space-based cellular network. In a very short period, the test program has already successfully demonstrated critical functionalities needed for satellite-to-phone messaging initially using GSM technology. |
