Huawei Mate50 series will be released in one day, and the warm-up has entered the latest sprint stage. The official officially announced that the satellite communication technology that "pierces the sky" will also be equipped with a domestic communication chip?
Huawei Terminal official Weibo released a warm-up video. In the picture, the mobile phone signal increased gradually, and finally transformed into a rocket flying into space, and then a satellite turned on the solar panel. The picture in the video reads: The signal transcends the ground, the communication is always connected, and the signal breaks through the limitations. It is unbelievable, and Mate believes it.
Previously, Huawei’s head of terminal business Yu Chengdong said that Huawei’s Mate50 series will lead the trend of the times and be equipped with a technology that “breaks the sky upwards”. According to multiple sources, there is a high probability that China will independently develop the Beidou satellite short message function to support communication with satellites in outdoor scenes to meet the needs of users in special scenarios.
short message is one of the functions of Beidou satellites. It supports two-way communication between terminal equipment and satellites. It is somewhat similar to our daily text messaging function and does not require the use of professional signal receiving devices. Although there is no need for external antennas, there are requirements for hardware infrastructure, at least equipped with relevant radio frequency baseband. It is reported that and Huawei have a domestic communication chip built in, which can be used with the Snapdragon 8 processor.
Industry insiders broke the news that the communication chips carried by the Huawei Mate50 series are exclusively provided by the domestic audio and optical electronics department, and Liyang Chip provides testing services. With the joint efforts of domestic brands, Huawei will lead the iPhone 14 series by one and a half days and be the first to support this communication technology. It will also be more promoted in the industry in the future. However, the specific information has not been confirmed and needs to wait for official confirmation.
Assuming that all the above news is true, Huawei's core processor comes from Qualcomm , the satellite communication baseband comes from domestic suppliers, and the communication service comes from Beidou satellite, which means that other domestic brands are also capable of supporting this function. In theory, as long as domestic manufacturers using Qualcomm chips purchase communication basebands and sign contracts with Beidou satellites, all Android phones will support satellite communication services in the future.
Of course, no Android brand has announced follow-up, and support will not be until next year at the earliest. It is speculated that it requires support and maintenance from the bottom of the system. Google announced at the end of last month that the next generation of Android will support satellite communications. According to the rules, Android 14 will be released in May next year, and the official version will be launched around October next year. Only then will Android phones officially support it. Compared with Huawei , and Apple are at least a year late, and the gap is not obvious.
Satellite communication can only be used to send and receive short text messages. It does not yet support voice calls and Internet access, but this may become a reality in the next 10 years. Some experts previously said that satellite communications will become the basic feature of 6G network. 6G network will probably be fully popularized in 2030. By then, users are expected to completely get rid of ground signal base stations and communicate with satellite networks, and there will no longer be able to go out of the signal service area. Awkward, everyone can get in touch with the outside world in real time.
Friends, what do you think of Huawei Mate50 series supporting satellite communications?
