Joe interviews Emil Olbrich of PrimeLime (thank you, Emil!) about how Low Earth Orbit direct to cellular communications can impact public safety communications, the status of Non Terrestrial Network cell service, the ability of these networks to provide service in major terrestrial network outages, and what to look out for regarding subscriber devices. They discuss satellite based services from STARLINK and AST SpaceMobile and their partners AT&T / FirstNet, Built with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. The discussion explores the newly released radios from Motorola Solutions and L3Harris Technologies that support, for the first time, space-based cellular service extending coverage for radio service in remote areas.
