Samsung is developing an AI-boosted modem chip to enable Earthbound devices to connect directly with Elon Musk’s Starlink service, according to insider sources talking to the Korean Economic Daily (KED).
Currently, connections between SpaceX’s Starlink hardware and tech on planet Earth are routed via a base station infrastructure. However, the insiders suggest that a Samsung modem with a built-in AI-accelerating NPU could revolutionize direct satellite-to-device connectivity.
