SpaceX says its Starlink tech will be able to send emergency alerts to all wireless users in cellular dead zones.

The FCC will decide whether or not to give SpaceX regulatory approval for a commercial launch of its cellular Starlink system.

The technology will harness orbiting satellites to beam data to phones on the ground, providing a way for consumers in dead zones to receive a cell signal.
