The UK is testing Starlink and other satellite tech to fix emergency network gaps, aiming for satellite backup by 2029.
The UK’s delayed Emergency Services Network is exploring satellite technology, including SpaceX’s Starlink, to improve coverage in remote areas, with the UK Space Agency seeking input on direct-to-device services from low Earth orbit providers.
The project, now managed by IBM after Motorola Solutions was replaced in 2023 due to antitrust issues, aims to deliver push-to-talk, video, and data services via 4G/5G networks, with satellite backup planned for 2029.
BT’s EE, already partnered with Starlink, may play a key role, alongside other providers like AST SpaceMobile and Eutelsat.
