Iridium Communications plans to make its low Earth orbit constellation compatible with 5G standards used by mass-market smartphones, aiming to enable them to access messaging and SOS services outside cellular coverage from 2026.

With the recently launched Starlink satellites capable of direct-to-device, it is interesting to see Iridium pursuing this as well. I wonder if Kuiper will follow suit?
