Vodafone makes world's first satellite video call using standard smartphone

^{Published on 2025-01-29 19:02:26 - MSN}

Vodafone said it had made the world's first video call via satellite using a standard smartphone from a remote location, and it plans to roll out the technology for its users across Europe later this year and in 2026.

Vodafone, in collaboration with AST SpaceMobile, has successfully completed the world's first satellite video call using a standard smartphone, marking a significant advancement in mobile connectivity. This pioneering call was made from Maui, Hawaii, to a Vodafone engineer in Madrid, Spain, utilizing an unmodified Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone. The technology leverages low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide service in areas where traditional terrestrial networks are unavailable, potentially revolutionizing communication in remote and rural regions. This development not only showcases the potential for global mobile coverage but also highlights the capabilities of AST SpaceMobile's BlueWalker 3 satellite, which facilitated the call. The achievement is part of a broader initiative to ensure that mobile connectivity can reach every corner of the planet, enhancing emergency communications, supporting rural development, and bridging the digital divide.
