We all know all too well about the gaps in cell phone communication that cause us to lose our connections. At the very least, these gaps are frustrating and in some cases they can be detrimental to a person s ability to access emergency services. TerreStar Networks is working on a $1 billion satellite system designed to fill in those gaps to improve communications and emergency services. The system, which they hope to have up and running next year, will be tested out in Northeastern Vermont, an area chosen for its qualities as a developmental sandbox where applications for rural areas can be widely tested.
