Qualcomm bo letos vgradil satelitsko storitev v telefone Android

Qualcomm je napovedal Snapdragon Satellite, ki bo v drugi polovici leta 2023 povezal izbrane premium pametne telefone, ki jih poganja Snapdragon, v satelitsko omrežje Iridium za pošiljanje sporočil v sili.

To pomeni, da se bodo pametni telefoni Android lahko podvojili in razširili SOS v sili, Applova satelitska storitev, ki omogoča modelom iPhone 14 pošiljanje sporočil naprej in nazaj s službami za nujno pomoč.

at Snapdragon Satellite can provide same “emergency” texting as Emergency SOS offers, which will be extremely handy for hikers or simply those who are driving or living in rural areas. Leta 2006 je umrl urednik CNET James Kim when he tried to hike 10 miles through snowy Oregon mountains after he and his family were unable to call for help because of poor cell service. (Qualcomm notes that you’ll need a “clear view of the sky” to enable the feature.) However, Qualcomm says that Snapdragon Satellite can go further.

Correction: “Snapdragon Satellite can support two-way messaging for emergency use, SMS texting, and other messaging applications,” a Qualcomm representative said in an emailed statement to PCWorld. “We think it’s an important nuance which differentiates our product from the competition so wanted to make sure you were aware."

Qualcomm je na CES dejal, da bo nova zmogljivost povezana s pametnimi telefoni naslednje generacije v "izbranih regijah", ki uporabljajo mobilno platformo Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Sčasoma se bo razširil na druge platforme, vključno s prenosniki in napravami IoT, je dejal Qualcomm. Snapdragon Satellite naj bi podpiral nezemeljska omrežja 5G (NTN), ko bodo satelitska infrastruktura in konstelacije NTN na voljo za storitve z blagovno znamko, ki se bodo razlikovale glede na operaterja in proizvajalca naprave.
