With Huawei and Apple equipping their latest flagship mobile phones with satellite communications, SpaceX, Link, Iridium, AST Space Mobile and other related technology enterprises are promoting the commercialization of "satellite smartphone direct communication" technology. It is expected that in the next few years, high-speed satellite communication of text information transmission level will be realized.
随着华为和苹果为其最新旗舰手机配备卫星通信功能,SpaceX,Link,Iridium和ASTSpaceMobile相关技术企业正在推动“卫星-智能手机直接通信”技术商业化。预计在未来几年内,将实现高速卫星通信的文本信息传输水平。
According to mobile operators and experts, as satellite communication gradually becomes an essential function of smart phones, it is expected that this technology will become a supplement to ground base stations soon.
据移动运营商和专家称,随着卫星通信逐渐成为智能手机的重要功能,该技术预计将在短时间内成为地面基站的补充。
Link recently obtained the license for direct communication of satellite smart phones from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Link plans to start commercial services in the United States and the Bahamas by using global low orbit satellites this year. In addition, AST Space Mobile is also preparing for the commercialization of services based on space base stations.
美国Link最近(FCC)获得卫星智能手机直接通信业务许可证。Link计划在今年内通过使用全球低轨道卫星在美国和巴哈马开始商业服务。ASTSpaceMobile也在准备使用空间基站作为服务商业化的基础。
AST aims to apply phased array antenna technology to satellites as space base stations to improve communication efficiency and realize Internet communication. AST also uses test satellites to advance its technology. At present, most commercial satellite communications use the method of installing a separate satellite communication function in the smartphone chipset. The space base station method is expected to overcome these limitations and expand access to satellite communications.
AST为了提高通信效率,实现网络通信,将相控阵天线技术应用于卫星作为空间基站。AST它还使用测试卫星来推广其技术。目前,大多数商业卫星通信都使用在智能手机芯片组中安装独立卫星通信功能的方法。空间基站方法预计将克服这些限制,扩大对卫星通信的访问。
Previously, Huawei was the first company in the world to commercialize smart phone satellite direct communication. Huawei Mate50 has the function of communicating with Beidou satellite. Apple's iPhone 14 series is equipped with the emergency satellite text transmission function using Qualcomm chips. Apple has cooperated with Global Star, a low orbit satellite company, to support one-way SOS message transmission on iPhone 14 series phones.
此前,华为是世界上第一家直接商业化智能手机-卫星通信的公司。Mate具有与北斗卫星通信的功能。还有苹果的iPhone14系列配备了应急卫星文本传输功能,采用高通芯片,苹果和低轨卫星公司GlobalStar合作,支持iPhone14单向系列手机SOS消息传输。
