Over the past six months, several smartphone OEMs, chipset providers, and wireless carriers have announced new developments for linking phones to satellites for emergency communications.
The MT6825 is a very small integrated chipset that includes an Arm Cortex-M4 CPU, 4MB of Flash and Pseudo-Static RAM memory, the transceiver, and power and clock management. Additional components will also be required for the RF front-end from other vendors. The MediaTek MT6825 platform supports the open 3GPP Release 17 IoT-NTN standard. This means once a device using the MediaTek platform has been certified for the standard, it can be used on any IoT-NTN compliant network.
As announced at CES, the first products launching with the MediaTek MT6825 chipset will be Motorola’s Defy series of smartphones coming out this quarter with support from the Bullitt Satellite Connect messaging service from the Bullitt Group.
