About Lynk

Only 10% of the Earth’s surface is served by cell towers, leaving 90% of the planet in “coverage black spots,” otherwise known as “0G”. Mobile coverage is limited by the economics of building and operating traditional ground-based cell towers, making it cost-prohibitive to expand into remote areas lacking coverage.

Lynk solves this problem in partnership with mobile network operators (MNOs) by connecting directly to mobile devices via commercial ‘cell-tower-in-space’ satellites. Anyone who has a mobile phone already in their pocket will now stay connected everywhere, and Lynk gives coverage to the over 1 billion people who currently do not own a mobile phone due to a lack of reliable service.
