Science Arts Inc. announced that its live communication platform 'Buddycom' successfully conducted voice call verification under KDDI's 'au Starlink Direct' satellite environment. This service enables smartphones to connect directly to Starlink satellites in areas without cellular coverage, such as mountain construction sites and offshore locations. The test confirmed stable transceiver (PTT) voice calls. Science Arts aims for official support by summer 2026, targeting infrastructure maintenance, construction, and disaster relief sectors to ensure frontline workers stay connected regardless of geography.
