# WHAT WE DO

Connecting everyone, everywhere. Lynk is a patented, proven and commercially-licensed direct-to-device system.

## Lynk’s mission is to connect everyone, everywhere

To achieve this mission, Lynk builds, launches, and operates ‘cell-tower-in-space’ satellites that provide direct-to-device connectivity with continuous global coverage. Lynk is [a patented, proven, and commercially licensed direct-to-device system](https://lynk.world/news/fcc-grants-lynk-first-ever-license-for-commercial-satellite-direct-to-standard-mobile-phone-service/) that delivers service through its mobile network operator (MNO) partners. Lynk has proven two-way commercial and emergency messaging on all seven continents, and is scaling to provide service at broadband speeds.

## Why we do it

Only 10% of the Earth’s surface is served by cell towers, leaving 90% of the planet in “coverage black spots,” otherwise known as “0G”. Mobile coverage is limited by the economics of building and operating traditional ground-based cell towers, making it cost-prohibitive to expand into remote areas lacking coverage.

Lynk solves this problem in partnership with mobile network operators (MNOs) by connecting directly to mobile devices via commercial ‘cell-tower-in-space’ satellites. Anyone who has a mobile phone already in their pocket will now stay connected everywhere, and Lynk gives coverage to the over 1 billion people who currently do not own a mobile phone due to lack of reliable service.

## Patented and proven technology

Lynk’s team of mobile and satellite industry experts have patented and proven the fundamental technology that provides direct-to-device connectivity anywhere on Earth. Lynk is continually building, launching, and testing new generations of satellites equipped to deliver commercial service with faster speeds and continuous coverage.
