O2 has extended its satellite direct-to-device service to business customers, enabling connectivity in remote areas by leveraging Starlink's low Earth orbit constellation. The service is bundled in its Ultimate Business Plan or available as a low-cost add-on, expanding coverage to 95% of the UK landmass and targeting over 526,000 rural-based businesses.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a new route to reach remote UK customers who lack mobile coverage. O2's satellite add-on opens a door for you to build services for businesses operating in rural locations where traditional mobile signals drop off.
