In the past two days, I believe everyone has heard of the news that hero Gan Yu was rescued.

html During the Luding earthquake in Sichuan on September 5, he gave up escaping and draining the flood control system and saved hundreds of people downstream.

lost contact for 17 days after being trapped, and survived by eating wild fruits in the mountains. Fortunately, he was discovered by his fellow villagers and was finally saved.

I have to say that this spirit of self-sacrificing oneself and others is truly admired by Student Guo.

So what does this have to do with today's article?

classmate Guo thought to himself that if Gan Yu had a mobile phone that supports satellite communication, he would not have lost contact for so long that he would have had his life worry.

As we all know, earlier this month, Apple and Huawei held a new phone launch conference, bringing a revolutionary technology to smartphones - satellite communication . After the

press conference, this technology quickly became one of the focus of discussion.

But as we all know, the satellite communication of the iPhone 14 series has been castrated in the national version.

That is to say, if you want to use this function in a short period of time, at this stage, only Huawei Mate 50 series mobile phones support it.

I believe everyone is also curious about whether the first satellite communications for the public are charged, can they be called, and how to use them?

If you are confused about these points, then I will talk to you today.

Mate 50 How to use satellite communication?

9 On September 21, Huawei Beidou Satellite News officially began recruiting public beta verification.

Huawei Mate 50 series users can apply for registration in the "My Huawei" App homepage - Beidou crowd test interface.

Fo students learned that when the mobile phone does not have a network, Huawei users can open the " Beidou Satellite Service Account " in Changlian App and send messages to the outside world.

In addition, this function also supports one-click generation of track maps.

Mate 50 Can I call satellite phone ?

The answer is no, Huawei Mate50 series supports the Beidou satellite short message system, which means that you can only send text messages to the outside world.

Some students may know that the satellite phones in the past were all giants, with large batteries and large antennas, because they needed very high power to connect to satellites.

and the tariff is particularly expensive, reaching 1.8 yuan/minute.

Due to hardware restrictions, it is not realistic to make satellite calls, and the fees are not enough for ordinary consumers. How to charge

is a question that everyone is more concerned about.

It is reported that Huawei Mate 50 satellite communication function is currently only free for a period of time.

According to the official page, after the Beidou satellite service account is opened for the first time, you can experience 30 free quotas per month.

As for how to charge in the future, Huawei responded that the subsequent commercial plan will be formulated based on the public beta situation.

It is worth mentioning that this function is only available in mainland China and cannot be used in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

In addition, only Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS Porsche design supports satellite communication, and Mate 50E does not support it for the time being.

Huawei officially mentioned that other models such as Mate Xs 2 can also be upgraded to use satellite communications in the future.

Some netizens said that although satellite communication is good, it seems to be very far from daily life.

In fact, this is true. Under normal circumstances, ordinary consumers will not use this function at all.

But for some special outdoor workers, field expeditioners, or in some earthquakes and other natural disasters, satellite communications are a life-saving function.

For example, if the hero Gan Yu mentioned at the beginning of the article had satellite communication function, he would not have encountered the dilemma of losing contact for 17 days.

In May this year, a marathon cross-country race in Baiyin, Gansu Province, caused 21 participants to be killed due to sudden extreme weather such as hail, freezing rain, strong winds, etc.

If these contestants can use satellite communication mobile phones and send messages to the outside world in time, it may not have caused such a sad result.

In short, Huawei Mate50 series supports Beidou satellite messages, which is an innovation in mobile phone functions.

Both Apple and Huawei support satellite communications, which indicates that in the future, this feature will likely be the standard for every smartphone.

At that time, the real communication without blind spots will truly enter the life of every ordinary person.

How do you view the satellite communication function of your mobile phone?
