BlueBird Block‑2 Satellite Launch by ISRO: Direct 4G & 5G Connectivity Without Towers
In a landmark achievement, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the BlueBird Block‑2 satellite from Sriharikota at 8:55 AM.
The mission marks a turning point in mobile communication, promising direct 4G and 5G broadband connectivity to smartphones without the need for traditional mobile towers.
Unlike current systems that rely heavily on tower infrastructure, the BlueBird Block‑2 satellite can beam signals directly to smartphones.
This breakthrough eliminates the need for additional antennas or customised hardware, making seamless connectivity accessible to all.
If testing continues to succeed, the era of mobile towers may soon be over.
The technology is expected to revolutionise coverage in remote villages, across oceans, and even during air travel—areas where connectivity has long been a challenge.
Experts believe this innovation could bridge the digital divide, ensuring uninterrupted communication for millions and setting a new milestone in India’s space and telecom sectors.
