The world’s first space video interview was held
Vodafone, normal 4G/5G smartphones and unlocked areas in areas without video interviews and internet access, which can use online messaging services can use the world’s first space video conversation successfully announced.
It was emphasized that this is the only satellite technology and universal digital connection built to provide a full mobile extensive experience and paved the way for the closure of mobile coverage gaps.
Automatic transition between space and land -based networks
Unlike today’s satellite -based services, users do not need a special satellite antenna, terminal or expensive satellite phone in order to benefit from the full mobile broadband connection. The service to be offered reflects the experience of existing 4G and 5G mobile networks, allowing users to automatically switch between daily smartphones and space and land -based networks.
Astronaut Tim Peake and Vodafone Group CEO Margherita Della Valle celebrated this important turning point at Vodafone’s new space crossing point. This point directs all signals from the user’s smartphone through Vodafone’s partner Ast Spacemobile’s Bluebird satellites. Vodafone engineer Rowan Chesmer held a historical space -based video conversation in a distant mountainous area of Wales, in a place where there was no mobile broadband before. In 2017, Rowan joined Vodafone’s graduation program and is currently working on uninterrupted satellite technologies that will improve the global connection.
Margherita Della Valle, “Vodafone’s task is to ensure that everyone can connect, no matter where they are. Developed Europe 5G network, now will be supported with the latest technology satellite technology. We offer the best network to our customers and we connect people who do not have mobile communication. It will help to close the abyss and provide people in Europe to communicate with their families and friends, and also provide a reliable connection in rural areas in emergencies, “he said.
Tim Peake, the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station in 2015, added: “After spending six months at the International Space Station, I realized how valuable it was to communicate with my family and my friends from distant and isolated regions. I am very happy to be in this important breakthrough. “
ABel Avellan, the founder, president and CEO of AST Spacemobile, said, “This historical milestone allows us to take another important step in our long -term partnership with Vodafone. Vodafone, AST Spacemobile’s long -term investor and lock technology partner. The first space -based voice search, the first 10 Mbps 4G download speed and the first 5G voice search, this latest success, and mobile extensive gaps. It brings one step closer to our mission, “he said.
Successful test in Turkey
Vodafone Türkiye also used the same technology in Turkey and successfully performed voice calls and SMS tests on the Bluewalker3 test satellite of AST Spacemobile in Turkey. This successful test, which has been performed with standard phones without using any additional equipment or software in a rural and mountainous area where there is no coverage between Bolu and Düzce, is a first in Turkey and is of great importance in terms of being the first in the US after the tests in the USA.
This technology, which operates in low -world orbit, offers mobile broadband services directly to multiple 4G or 5G smartphones as a single satellite service in the world and an extension of Vodafone’s leading land -based networks. Satellite is a complementary technology that provides a valuable scope in places where there is no valid mobile or fixed alternative. Satellite service and land -based network together will offer Europe a communication infrastructure that can be used anywhere in mountains or seas and will increase the overall durability.
