Senior Analyst, Mobility & VR, Anshel Sag, dives in as even with all the announcements and product launches of 2022, some companies were curiously missing, namely Qualcomm. That all changed this month at CES 2023, when the company announced a two-way messaging service called Snapdragon Satellite.
Zapata Computing’s Second Annual Global Survey Shows Strong Progress For Quantum Computing In The Enterprise MarketSnapdragon Satellite is a service Qualcomm has built using a combination of devices using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform and its Snapdragon X70 modem. This service, powered by Iridium’s second-generation satellite network, is not intended to be sold directly to consumers, but instead offered to OEMs as a differentiator for the added safety that it brings.
There is also still no concrete date for when the Motorola Defy, powered by Bullitt Satellite, will be operational, but we know that it will cost $4.99 a month and run on the Skylo service, which uses Immarsat and other satellite networks. Bullitt says that MediaTek’s TBA modems will power this new Motorola Defy satellite device using Bullitt’s Satellite service, which are slated to ship together in Q1 2023.
While you might not necessarily consider Garmin’s inReach service a competitor, it is a commercially ready two-way mobile messaging service. The admittedly major distinction here is that it requires a Garmin device and a separate service, which are friction points that many of the companies mentioned above are trying to eliminate. That said, I believe that Garmin’s inReach will be seen as the bar by which other services are evaluated and could offer a good metric to set our expectations.
