Reports suggest the amount of capital Slam possesses has since shrunk to about $272 million after a segment of shareholders redeemed their shares for return of the IPO capital when Slam previously asked for an extension to find a merger partner.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Henry, director of research for satellite and space financial\u00a0research company<em>\u00a0Quilty Space,\u00a0<\/em>told<em>\u00a0MWL<\/em>\u00a0it was too soon to determine if the arrangement with Slam fulfills Lynk Global\u2019s funding needs.<\/p>\n<p>He noted the deal was non-binding, that the SPAC funding could vary based on redemption rates and that it was unknown \u201chow much spending Lynk needs to conduct to achieve profitability\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil those three things are clear, it\u2019s hard to gauge the magnitude of this deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lynk progress so far<\/strong><br \/>It currently has three commercial satellite cell towers in space with ambitions to have up to 50 birds in operation by the end of 2024. After previously reporting Lynk Global was seeking additional investors earlier this year, <em>SpaceNews<\/em> stated in June the company had secured funding to deploy six additional satellites in January.<\/p>\n<p>Lynk Global announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/home-banner\/lynk-claims-first-sat-to-phone-service-with-pncc\/\">a partnership<\/a> with operator Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC) for a beta trial of its&nbsp;SMS&nbsp;service and later secured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/network-tech\/lynk-inks-solomon-islands-operator-deal\/\">a deal<\/a> with bmobile Solomon Islands. Last week, Rogers Communications and Lynk Global completed the first satellite-to-mobile phone call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/lynk-global\/lynk-rogers-hail-canada-sat-to-phone-breakthrough\/\">in Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lynk Global patented technology in 2017 and started commercial testing in space in 2019. The service is designed to work on 2G, 4G and 5G technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its early entry in the satellite-to-phone sector, Lynk Global faces an array of competitors including AST SpaceMobile, SpaceX-owned Starlink, Iridium, and Apple.<\/p>\n<p>In July, Lynk Global laid claim to the first two-way voice calls on a satellite-to-phone service using standard phones while disputing AST
