Telus与美国AST SpaceMobile公司合作在加拿大启动卫星动力移动电话服务,目的是改善偏远地区和服务不足地区的连通性。 Telus has partnered with U.S. company AST SpaceMobile to launch satellite-powered cellular services in Canada, aiming to improve connectivity in remote and underserved areas. 该公司将投资于地面基础设施,并获得AST SpaceMobile的股权,预计服务将于2026年晚些时候启动。 The company will invest in ground-based infrastructure and acquire an equity stake in AST SpaceMobile, with the service expected to launch later in 2026. 该技术将使标准的智能手机能够直接与卫星连接,使电话、文本和数据能够在没有特殊设备的情况下接通。 The technology will allow standard smartphones to connect directly to satellites, enabling calls, texts, and data without special equipment. 该倡议支持Telus扩大全国覆盖范围的更广泛努力,包括5G+和LTE升级。 The initiative supports Telus’s broader efforts to expand nationwide coverage, including 5G+ and LTE upgrades. 由于首席执行官Darren Entwistle将在6月底退休,由前CIBC首席执行官Victor Dodig接替,因此,这一变动与领导层的变动相吻合。 This move coincides with leadership changes, as CEO Darren Entwistle will retire at the end of June, succeeded by Victor Dodig, former CIBC CEO.
