Direct-to-Device Satellite Connectivity
An interactive guide to direct-to-device satellite connectivity: capabilities, standards, deployment models and selected global offers. Based on the report 'D2D: The direct line for orbit to device integration'.
A message asking for help. A truck reporting its location. A sensor flagging a problem. Each carries very little data, but losing the connection can matter a great deal. Direct-to-device satellite connectivity gives a compatible phone or sensor another route when a terrestrial network is unavailable.
This interactive companion to D2D: The Direct Line for Orbit to Device Integration extends the original research beyond its July 2026 cutoff, incorporating developments through 15 October 2026. The updated global map captures newly announced trials, pilots, live services and planned deployments, enabling comparisons across markets by device requirements, access conditions and pricing, where available. Map locations identify markets or trials; they do not indicate service coverage.
Explore the technology, standards and services through seven visual chapters. Optimized for all screens. Full-screen on a tablet/laptop/desktop is recommended.
D2D: from capability to service
