Sometimes he criticizes, sometimes he imitates. This is a common practice from Samsung when it comes to innovations offered by Apple. After the bitten apple has to offer SOS Emergency function via satellite As one of the newest features of iPhone 14, Samsung is ready to follow your footsteps.

According to the statement shared from the Korean company, it announced Development of a new Exynos modem chip with satellite communication capabilitiesIt will have more photo and video transfer than emergency use.

in the footsteps of Apple

In theory, Samsung’s proposal beats Apple’s. Thanks to the standardized 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) modem technology, it is possible to connect to regions over mountains, deserts or the middle of the ocean, where terrestrial networks could not reach before. It will also be important to ensure operability in disaster areas and nurture future urban air mobility (UAM) such as drones and flying cars.

Right now, Service running on the latest generation of iPhone and provides access to 911 services in isolated areas without mobile coverage, it’s just text. With iPhone, it asks the user for all the information needed by the rescuers and then sends it in a compressed format.

Now, The operation of satellite connection for SOS emergencies of iPhone 14 series phones is quite primitive. It’s logical and natural, considering it’s in one of the early stages of development. However, it a convenient and functional way to send instant notifications to emergency services in existing countries and has proven itself in saving many users’ lives.

However, given the introduction of the chip after the launch of the new Galaxy S23 series a few weeks ago, It is unknown when and on which devices this feature will be available.. Patents have also been filed on behalf of Apple to expand its services to photos, videos and more.
