- Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon Satellite feature.
- This is a satellite-based service for emergencies and two-way communication.
Qualcomm has taken to the CES 2023 show floor to announce Snapdragon Satellite — a satellite-based messaging solution for premium Android smartphones.
Unlike Apple’s Emergency SOS, which only lets users send emergency messages, Android phones that support Snapdragon Satellite will be able to achieve two-way messaging communication. That means you’ll be able to both send and receive messages using satellite connectivity. For the same, Qualcomm has partnered with Iridium to take advantage of its 66 low-orbit satellites spread across the globe. The goal is to create two-way satellite communication not just for emergency use but also for recreation in remote, rural, and offshore locations.
