智通财经APP获悉,T-Mobile(TMUS.US)宣布在美国推出首个由SpaceX旗下星链(Starlink)支持的太空移动网络的公测版。
此次公测面向美国所有无线用户开放,包括竞争对手电信公司Verizon(VZ.US)和AT&T(T.US)的客户,均可免费注册并体验,直至7月。
“在公测期间,用户可以发送和接收由卫星支持的短信,数据和语音功能将在后续推出,”T-Mobile表示。
T-Mobile Starlink利用环绕地球运行的、具备直连手机(Direct-to-Cell)功能的卫星来传输手机信号。该公司表示:“当用户的手机超出地面基站覆盖范围时,手机将自动连接到T-Mobile Starlink网络,无需手动操作。”
7月服务正式上线后,T-Mobile Starlink将免费集成于Go5G Next和Go5G Business Next套餐中。其他套餐的T-Mobile用户可以以每月每条线路15美元的价格添加该服务。对于Verizon和AT&T的客户,该服务的月费为每条线路20美元。
参与公测的用户在服务正式上线时将享受33%的折扣,该优惠将持续至2月。
“我们将持续邀请用户参与公测,以帮助我们测试系统并提供反馈,为7月的正式上线做好准备,”T-Mobile补充道。
周一美股盘前,截至发稿,T-Mobile股价涨约4%。
