Iridium, Qualcomm end satellite-to-phone partnership
The move comes as major players pursue the nascent market to connect unmodified phones directly to satellites.
You're viewing a single thread.
This send like the relevant bit:
Qualcomm said in a statement smartphone makers have “indicated a preference towards standards-based solutions” for satellite-to-phone connectivity.
“We expect to continue to collaborate with Iridium on standards-based solutions while discontinuing efforts on the proprietary solution that was introduced earlier this year,” the company said.
Yea this will be back with an open standard so OEMs and carriers can shop around for cheaper prices
