“Samsung<\/a> plans to integrate this technology into the company’s Exynos modem solutions, accelerating the commercialization of 5G<\/a> satellite communications<\/a> and paving the way for the 6G-driven Internet of Everything (IoE) era,” the company said in a statement.
“Samsung aims to take the lead in advancing hybrid terrestrial-NTN communications ecosystems around the world in preparation for the arrival of 6G,” said Min Goo Kim, Executive Vice President of CP (Communication Processor) Development at Samsung Electronics.
NTN is a communications technology that uses satellites and other non-terrestrial vehicles to bring connectivity to regions that were previously unreachable by terrestrial networks, whether over mountains, across deserts, or in the middle of the ocean. It will also be critical in assuring operability in disaster areas and powering future urban air mobility (UAM) such as unmanned aircraft and flying cars.
It was widely anticipated that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, which was launched earlier in February, will come with the satellite communications<\/a> feature. However, the company has not provided the feature.
\"When there is the right timing, infrastructure<\/a> and the technology [is] ready, then of course for Samsung Galaxy, for our mobile division, we would also actively consider adopting this feature as well,\" TM Roh, president and head of Samsung's mobile experience business, was quoted as saying in a report by CNET.
For reliable NTN communication with low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, Samsung said it has developed and simulated 5G NTN standard-based satellite technology using its Exynos Modem 5300 reference platform to “accurately predict satellite locations and minimize frequency offsets caused by the Doppler shift”. It added that the Exynos modems will support two-way text messaging as well as high-definition image and video sharing.
Notably, Cupertino-based Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models come with the Emergency SOS feature powered by satellite, enabling users to text emergency services when the device is out of mobile and Wi-Fi coverage. Users can also use the ‘Find My’ app to share their location via satellite. The feature has been initially rolled out in the US and Canada, and will be free for two years after the activation of iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
For this, Apple has invested $450 million to set up the required infrastructure<\/a>. “A majority of the funding goes to Globalstar…Apple’s investment provides critical enhancements to Globalstar’s satellite network and ground stations, ensuring iPhone 14 users are able to connect to emergency services when off the grid,” the company has said.
