Lynk is a satellite communications company founded in 2017, headquartered in the United States. The company developed the world's first patented, proven, and commercially-licensed direct-to-device (D2D) satellite system. This technology enables standard, unmodified mobile phones to connect directly to satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), functioning as "cell-towers-in-space" to provide ubiquitous mobile connectivity.
The company operates within the satellite communications, telecommunications, and mobile network operations verticals. Its technical domains encompass D2D systems, LEO technology, and broader satellite communications. Lynk has secured regulatory approvals in over 30 countries and holds more than 40 commercial service contracts with mobile network operators (MNOs) covering approximately 50 countries, with commercial deployments across multiple continents.
Lynk's platform allows mobile network operators to extend coverage without requiring subscribers to use specialized hardware. The system is designed to supplement terrestrial networks by providing connectivity in areas lacking conventional infrastructure.
