Qualcomm is working on more advanced satellite messaging, coming to Android phones, tablets, and maybe even laptops.<\/p>\n<p>Qualcomm, the company behind the Snapdragon chipsets found in many Android phones (like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/110468\/samsung-galaxy-s22-review-so-close-to-perfection\/\">Galaxy S22<\/a> and OnePlus 10T), announced \u201cSnapdragon Satellite\u201d at CES 2023 today. It\u2019s advertised as the world\u2019s first two-way messaging system for premium smartphones, using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iridium_satellite_constellation\">a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit<\/a> operated by Iridium Communications.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few differences between Qualcomm\u2019s solution and the satellite SOS feature developed by Apple. First, Snapdragon Satellite is supposed to allow two-way communication, instead of the one-way emergency broadcasting on the iPhone 14. Qualcomm\u2019s system also isn\u2019t limited to emergency situations.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1914px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-859340\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/snapdragon-sat.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Snapdragon Satellite image with sending a message\" width=\"1914\" height=\"1070\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Qualcomm<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Those features mean it should be possible to have a normal text conversation using the satellites, but judging by the \u201ccheck messages\u201d button in the images provided by Qualcomm, replies have to be checked manually with the phone positioned towards the open sky. That means you won\u2019t get alerts for new texts in the middle of nowhere while your phone is in your pocket. Still, that\u2019s certainly better than no communication \u2014 keeping in touch with friends and family while on a remote camping <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> (or natural disaster) could be invaluable to many people.<\/p>\n<p>The satellite network isn\u2019t just intended for phones, though. Qualcomm said in its announcement, \u201d Snapdragon Satellite can expand to other devices, including laptops, tablets, vehicles and IoT. As the Snapdragon Satellite ecosystem grows, OEMs and app developers can differentiate and offer unique branded services taking advantage of satellite connectivity. Snapdragon Satellite is planned to support 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), as NTN satellite infrastructure and constellations become available.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1908px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-859341\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/snapdragon-sat-chip.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Snapdragon satellite modem diagram\" width=\"1908\" height=\"1070\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Qualcomm<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The main catch is that Snapdragon Satellite doesn\u2019t seem to be a complete package. Qualcomm says emergency messaging \u201cis planned to be available on next-generation smartphones, launched in select regions starting in the second half of 2023,\u201d and will be developed in collaboration with Garmin. There\u2019s no confirmed timeline for regular non-emergency messaging, and we don\u2019t know availability or pricing. Apple offers two years of free satellite connectivity with every iPhone 14 purchase, and the company hasn\u2019t said how much the feature will cost after that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great to see more progress on satellite connectivity, especially with T-Mobile and SpaceX trying to set up a similar system. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if Qualcomm can deliver, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
