According to Apple partner Globalstar disclosed the FCC documents, suggesting that Apple’s future iPhone can directly make satellite calls and access the Internet via satellite.
Globalstar refuted T-Mobile’s argument in the FCC filing that “mainstream consumer devices do not support receiving Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) signals.
The Globalstar’s argument is as follows: The company’s evolving MSS system allows ordinary smartphones to directly call various satellite features and services.
Globalstar currently provides satellite services for the iPhone 14 series, but currently only sends emergency SOS messages via satellite when traditional cellular services are inaccessible.
It was previously reported that many competitors, including AT&T and AST SpaceMobile, are working to achieve satellite Internet access on consumer phones.
