According to previous reports, Honor product line president Fang Fei once revealed that in the past two years, Honor and China Telecom have launched in-depth technical cooperation to jointly solve the problems of high power consumption of satellite business, tight link budget, and difficult heat dissipation. problems, while achieving technological breakthroughs in chip miniaturization and built-in satellite antennas.
Jiang Hairong, CMO of Honor Terminal Co., Ltd. China, said: “Satellite communication technology does have technical thresholds. Honor has invested heavily in research and development in this field and has made breakthroughs in many key technologies. You can look forward to the satellite communication experience of Honor phones in the future. It must lead the industry.
