mobile news desk,Apple is soon going to launch its much talked about iPhone 15 series with less than ten days left. Earlier, the company launched the iPhone 14 last year. In which emergency SOS service was provided through satellite. Now this service of the company is also going to get the support of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Let’s know what is the whole matter. The specialty of the Emergency SOS service of iPhone 14 is that it runs through satellite. This means that even if the user is in an area where mobile network is not available, this emergency service will still work. Because it connects directly through satellite. Apple’s partner for providing this service is Globalstar. According to NOLA.com, now Globalstar is going to expand this service with the help of SpaceX. That is, now SpaceX will launch its satellite for Globalstar.
Globalstar has signed a $64 million deal with SpaceX for this. For this, the company will send its satellite into space in 2025. According to the report, this news has been confirmed by the filing made in the Securities and Exchange Commission. This satellite sent by SpaceX will play an important role in expanding this service of Globalstar. However, this isn’t the first time Globalstar is seeking help from Elon Musk’s company. Even before this, SpaceX had helped send satellites for Globalstar from Kennedy Space Center in Florida last year.
Since the iPhone 15 series is about to be launched, this participation of SpaceX company is going to be important for Apple. Because the Emergency SOS service of iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 will now depend on these satellites. Emergency SOS service via satellite is currently available in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. So if you have an iPhone 14 or above model (upcoming iPhone 15), and you’re stuck in a location with no mobile network, emergency connectivity via satellite is still possible in locations with available service.
