SpaceX Agrees to Acquire Nationwide 800 MHz Low-Band Spectrum Portfolio
MT newswire2026/10/08 21:2205:22 PM EDT, 10/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- SpaceX (SPCX) said Thursday it agreed to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio of up to 14 megahertz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band for its Starlink Mobile service. SpaceX said it plans to combine its satellite-to-mobile constellation with a terrestrial deployment once approval is received. The deal is subject to final FCC approval, and financial terms were not disclosed. The low-band spectrum is intended to provide a coverage layer, including inside buildings, and SpaceX said most existing mobile devices already support the band. Separately, the Federal Communications Commission approved SpaceX's Gen2 Starlink Mobile constellation application, authorizing the launch of 15,000 satellites optimized for 2 GHz spectrum globally and further authorized the full range of Ka/V/E/W backhaul bands used by Starlink's V3 broadband satellites.
