Lynk provides mobile broadband connectivity to underserved regions by using a network of low Earth orbit satellites. It partners with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to extend existing networks into remote areas, enabling service delivery without large ground infrastructure. The satellite system works by integrating Lynk’s satellite connectivity with the operator’s network, potentially complemented by direct-to-consumer offerings in the future. This approach differs from many rivals by coupling satellite coverage with established mobile networks, focusing on extending reach rather than building entirely separate networks and targeting emergency response, disaster management, and remote communities. The company’s goal is to deliver reliable, scalable global connectivity by filling gaps in traditional mobile coverage and supporting critical communications in emergencies.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Smart expanded Batangas trials in August 2026, proving repeat operator demand in disaster response.
- Nelco invested $20 million on August 17, 2026, validating Elveo's financing access.
- SES remains a strategic investor and partner, lowering gateway and distribution frictions.
What critics are saying
- Elveo still starts with nine satellites; Starlink and AST SpaceMobile dwarf its scale.
- Commercial services slip to early 2028, leaving two years of execution risk and capital strain.
- If MNO pilots stall, Lynk becomes a spectrum-and-demo story, not a revenue business.
What makes Lynk unique
- August 2026 merger with Omnispace created Elveo Mobile, combining D2D spectrum and satellites.
- Elveo says it has 50-plus MNO agreements across 60 countries, including Smart and Rakuten.
- Omnispace added 60 MHz S-band rights, strengthening Lynk beyond basic messaging services.

August 20, 2026 | 12:03 am SMART COMMUNICATIONS, Inc. has expanded its direct-to-device satellite service trials with US-based Lynk Global, Inc. to Batangas as part of efforts to strengthen communications and disaster-response capabilities. Discover more Downloading Interactive Geographic Maps Discovering Niche Magazine Subscriptions The wireless unit of PLDT Inc. said the pilot activities had previously been conducted only in Catanduanes and Ilocos Norte this year. "Reliable communication is essential in times of crisis. As disasters continue to pose challenges to communities across the country, PLDT and Smart remain committed to investing in technologies that help ensure critical information reaches people when they need it most," PLDT Chief Operating Officer and Network Head Menardo G. Jimenez, Jr. said in a media release on Wednesday. The Batangas trials focus on satellite-enabled connectivity that could provide critical communications during emergencies when terrestrial networks are unavailable. Smart said the latest trials complement the tests in Catanduanes and Ilocos Norte, which examined how satellite technology could supplement existing telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in remote areas. "The continued expansion of these trials reflects the PLDT Group's commitment to explore next-generation technologies to help improve the delivery of public services and improve customer experience through reliable public safety communications as part of strengthened disaster response capabilities nationwide," it said. Lynk Global develops satellite-to-mobile-phone constellation technology designed to expand mobile coverage worldwide. Smart said last year that its partnership with Lynk Global would enable mobile communications in areas without cellular signals by connecting mobile phones directly to satellites. It planned to integrate its core systems with Lynk's satellite-to-mobile network before conducting live field tests using Smart's existing spectrum. The initiative would prioritize coastal and mountain barangays and key maritime routes while ensuring secure, reliable and stable connections, Smart said.

Smart tests satellite-to-phone service for emergencies in Batangas. August 19, 2026 Smart Communications and Lynk Global have expanded tests of direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity to Batangas, examining how the technology could provide emergency communications when terrestrial mobile networks are disrupted by disasters. The latest trials follow earlier tests in Catanduanes and Ilocos Norte and focused on using satellites to deliver communications directly to standard mobile phones in areas where cellular infrastructure is unavailable or temporarily knocked offline. Smart and Lynk simulated disaster scenarios involving disrupted network infrastructure and tested satellite-enabled cell broadcasts for sending emergency alerts and public safety messages directly to mobile users in affected communities. The companies are also testing two-way communications, including the ability to send SMS messages through satellites when terrestrial cell towers are unavailable because of typhoons, power outages or other disruptions. The technology could also extend coverage to rural and hard-to-reach locations, including maritime areas. D2D satellite technology is designed to connect satellites directly with existing mobile phones, potentially providing a backup communications layer without requiring users to carry dedicated satellite handsets. "Reliable communication is essential in times of crisis. As disasters continue to pose challenges to communities across the country, PLDT and Smart remain committed to investing in technologies that help ensure critical information reaches people when they need it most," said Menardo G. Jimenez Jr., PLDT chief operating officer and network head. "For us, this goes beyond technology. Our mission at PLDT is to be there for all Filipinos, whether they are talking to family abroad, or requesting for assistance from a rooftop in the middle of a calamity," he added. The Batangas trials build on Smart and Lynk's D2D tests in Catanduanes and Ilocos Norte, where the companies similarly examined how satellite connectivity could complement existing telecommunications infrastructure in remote and underserved locations. - Advertisement - Relevant stories.
