Elon Musk has more than 11,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, but taking on America's wireless giants requires something his rockets cannot deliver: reliable coverage inside buildings and across crowded cities. In other words, the billionaire's space-based connectivity empire still needs a little help from the ground. Satellite-to-cellular technology can extend coverage into remote areas where traditional networks do not reach. However, signals from space face limitations in densely populated areas and indoors, where walls and other obstacles weaken reception, according to the Washington Post.
