The joint venture aims to \u201cnearly eliminate\u201d dead spots in underserved areas by relying largely on satellites rather than traditional cell towers to fill coverage gaps.<\/p>\n

The service is considered direct-to-device, meaning cellphones will communicate directly with satellites.<\/p>\n

The collaboration comes a year after T-Mobile and Starlink launched a beta project to use satellite technology to fill coverage gaps. Also last year, Verizon partnered with Skylo to offer satellite messaging and location detection for customers with select Android devices.<\/p>\n

The companies did not disclose which satellite providers will participate in the latest joint venture.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to make staying connected simple, no matter where you are \u2014 on a rural highway, in a national park, on a boat, or during an emergency,\u201d said John Stankey, chairman and CEO of AT&T. \u201cBy joining with other carriers, we’re bringing our combined expertise to accelerate access to reliable, always-on coverage everywhere. This collaboration not only makes connectivity easier; it strengthens America’s communications leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
