Lynk Global
Operates LEO nanosatellites providing direct-to-device connectivity to unmodified mobile phones via mobile network operator partnerships
Lynk Global designs, builds, and operates a constellation of low Earth orbit nanosatellites that function as cell towers in space, providing direct-to-device connectivity to standard, unmodified mobile phones. The company's patented technology enables text messaging, voice calls, emergency cell broadcast alerts, and data services without requiring any hardware or software changes to consumer handsets.
Lynk partners with mobile network operators through simple roaming agreements, allowing MNOs to extend coverage into areas lacking terrestrial infrastructure. The company has signed commercial agreements with over 50 MNOs across more than 50 countries and has launched commercial services in several Pacific Island nations including Palau, the Solomon Islands, and the Cook Islands. Lynk holds an FCC license for commercial satellite-direct-to-phone service in the United States.
In October 2025, Lynk announced plans to merge with Omnispace, gaining access to 60 MHz of globally coordinated S-band spectrum for enhanced data and voice services. SES, a major investor, will become a strategic shareholder in the combined entity to support multi-orbit D2D deployment.
