Vodafone Makes History with First Space Video Call Using Regular Smartphones

Vodafone has created history. The telecom services provider company claimed to have made the world’s first “space video call”. The special thing here is that for this call, the company did not use a handset with any particular satellite connectivity support, but this call was made from a simple 4G, 5G connectivity mobile. This experiment is being described as revolutionary in the field of satellite connectivity.

Vodafone has become the first company in the world to have shown the feat of making space video calls without satellite mobile. You will also know that in flagship smartphones, companies are starting to provide separate satellite connectivity features nowadays in which it is possible to message without sim or connectivity. This occurs with the help of satellite. But special equipment is required to use satellite connectivity. But Vodafone has shown this feat without any special equipment.

Satellite service can now be accessed with the help of ordinary smartphones. The company says that it will start rolling out this service this year. By next year, this technology will be available in Europe. The company started the service with a call to Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle. The engineer of the company called Valle from the mountains of Wales. There was no mobile network available here. This call was made directly through the satellite.

This directly means that now connectivity will be available in far -flung areas where there is no connectivity, or it is not possible to carry connectivity. Vodafone has done this feat with the help of 5 blueded satellite of Ast Spacemobile in the lower orbit of the Earth. With this help, the company is offering a transmission service of 120Mbps on ordinary smartphones. The company’s plan is to spread this technology to its users soon.
