Samsung is readying its own smartphone-to-satellite communication platform
a new standardized 5G NTN modem that will enable two-way communication between smartphones and satellites. The technology will allow users to send and receive calls, text messages and data without the need for a cellular network, and will be integrated into Samsung's future Exynos chips.
The aim is to allow people in mountains, deserts or other remote areas to communication with others in critical situations. 5G NTN conforms to 3rd Generation Partnership Project standards, meaning it works with traditional communication services from chip manufacturers, smartphone makers and telecoms.However, Samsung indicated that the tech could eventually be used to transmit high-definition photos and even video, on top of texts and calls.
