In New Zealand, the satellite technology now covers IoT devices, starting with equipment to monitor beehives. In December, New Zealand mobile carrier One NZ was the first to start offering cellular Starlink service to consumers, about a month before T-Mobile kicked off its own beta in the US. On Tuesday, SpaceX and One NZ notified the US Federal Communications Commission about their plan to use more radio spectrum to increase capacity for satellite connectivity. In a letter, One NZ said: “We now want to ensure that we continue to have sufficient capacity to provide services to users and to enable additional services to be offered, including data and IoT services. The allocation of additional spectral capacity will support these outcomes.”
