New Delhi, March 12 – A day after signing an agreement with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Bharti Group founder Sunil Mittal stated that satellite technology will integrate seamlessly with existing 4G, 5G, and future 6G networks, allowing users to carry their mobile phones to even the most remote parts of the world, including skies and oceans.
Both Indian telecom giants, Bharti Airtel and Jio, have signed agreements with SpaceX to provide Starlink’s high-speed internet services in India, as per agency report.
Mittal emphasized that incorporating satellite technology into the telecom sector should be seen as a natural evolution in bringing new advancements to customers. He noted that just as 4G, 5G, and 6G have transformed connectivity, a new technology, referred to as ‘SAT-G,’ is set to expand coverage beyond traditional terrestrial networks. This development will enable users to remain connected even in the most inaccessible regions across the globe.
At the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, Mittal, during his keynote address, called upon telecom and satellite companies to collaborate, leverage their strengths, and work towards a mission of extending connectivity to remote areas, the skies, and vast oceanic expanses.
