News India Live, Digital Desk: A new chapter of digital india: Imagine that you are tracking in the mountains or in a dense forest, and your phone does not have a signal. Earlier it was a common thing, but now it will not happen! India’s well-known telecom company Vodafone Idea (VI) has a historic partnership with American satellite company Ast Spacemobile. This partnership simply means that now in remote and non -network areas of India, your mobile phones will get 4G and 5G connectivity through satellite directly.
How will it work?
The special ‘blued’ satellites of the AST spacemobile, which are in the Earth’s lower orbit or leo, will be directly connected to your regular smartphone. For this you will not need any special satellite phone. Your existing handset will be able to connect with the satellite, send messages and access the Internet. This is a great relief for millions of people who live in rural, mountain, coastal or inaccessible areas where it is difficult or impossible to install mobile towers.
Vodafone Idea Vision:
Vodafone Idea believes that this partnership is a big step in his mission of ‘Connect India’. Its main goal is to deliver mobile coverage to areas where connectivity is very much needed, such as agricultural sector, mining sector, sailing community, railway, defense personnel and emergency services. Even when normal networks fail at the time of disaster, this service will help continue to continue communication.
Increased satellite internet practice:
The trend of phone connectivity directly from satellite around the world is increasing rapidly. Elon Musk’s Starlink and Apple’s satellite features are a great example of this. This technology does not only connect areas where tower cannot reach, but will also benefit industries that require reliable communication at remote places.
This partnership is a major step towards strengthening India’s digital infrastructure and bridging digital divide. This will not only provide people to stay connected, but will also help in economic development and social inclusion.
