Smartphones will be able to get a signal even in the taiga: Russia has announced a launch date for the technology
Published
Russia has announced a new technology that will help smartphones work where there is no cellular coverage. It involves satellite connectivity, that is, transmitting a signal to an ordinary phone via satellites. This capability is especially important for people who live in remote areas or often spend time in forests and mountains.
Right now, in such places a phone often cannot make a call or send a message, because cell towers are located far apart from one another. The new technology is supposed to solve this problem. It will allow people to use basic communication services without any special large equipment. Users will not need to buy a separate device if their phone supports this function.
According to the source, the country has already named an approximate launch date for the technology. However, precise details, such as the cost of the service and the list of supported phone models, are not specified in the message. Experts usually say that such services first appear in a limited form and then their capabilities gradually expand.
This news is important for residents of Siberia, the Far East and the north of the country, where large territories still lack stable mobile internet. If the technology launches on the promised schedule, it may improve the safety of tourists, geologists and other people who work far from populated areas. Readers will be able to follow further reports from operators and government bodies to learn the details.
