Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile had all previously refused to grant SpaceX access to their networks, prompting SpaceX to build its own. Through a deal with Grain Management, SpaceX acquired 546 paired licenses covering nearly the entire U.S. population. The 800 MHz low-band signal offers strong wall-penetration capability and is compatible with virtually all smartphones. Once the transaction is complete, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum resources in each coverage area. Musk said this is the final key piece of the spectrum layout SpaceX needs to achieve complete mobile signal coverage across the United States.
