Unlike the iPhone 14’s satellite connectivity, which is only for emergency use, Snapdragon Satellite will work for two-way text messaging and some supported messaging apps, as well as emergency use cases.
Related Snapdragon Satellite will offer truly global coverage from one pole to the other. This satellite connectivity will be able to support two-way messaging for emergency scenarios, as well as regular SMS texting, in addition to other select messaging applications. Since this can be used outside of emergency situations, Snapdragon Satellite enables staying in contact with others in remote, rural, and offshore locations.
There are plans in the future for Snapdragon Satellite to expand to devices other than smartphones as well. Such devices could include laptops, tablets, vehicles, and the Internet of Things . As the Snapdragon Satellite ecosystem grows, both manufacturers and app developers can differentiate and offer unique branded services that make the most out of satellite connectivity.
