T-Mobile announced it would be teaming up with Elon Musk’s Starlink to provide service in previously unworkable areas across the country.

Starlink is a Wi-Fi technology that connects to various SpaceX satellites in order to provide internet even when there are no routers nearby.

The company claims it can now be used in a space of 500 thousand square miles that were previously unreachable.

The service will be enabled by satellites that will connect to phones on the ground and provide service.
