Qualcomm @ MWC 2023: Durga Malladi on satellite comms

With the exponential growth of the global satellite market, it’s no surprise that satellite communications technology was a big topic at MWC 2023. Following presentations from Lynk Co-Founder Margo Deckerd and OneWeb CEO Neil Masterson, Qualcomm SVP & GM, Cellular Modems & Infrastructure Durga Malladi joined participants on stage for a panel on the exciting state of global satellite communications technology.
The panel began with participants giving their opinions on where the global satellite communications market is headed and what new use cases are emerging. Durga shared several ways that satellites can impact 5G global coverage and emergency communications, from smartphone users to drivers in connected vehicles, and reiterated Qualcomm’s goal of bringing these capabilities to a wide range of devices across all tiers through Snapdragon Satellite. The solution is the world’s first satellite-based two-way capable messaging solution for smartphones and offers truly global coverage leveraging the fully operational Iridium LEO satellite constellation. Emergency messaging on Snapdragon Satellite is planned to be available on next-generation smartphones, launched in select regions starting in the second half of 2023.
Beginning with smartphones, Snapdragon Satellite can expand to support laptops, tablets, vehicles and IoT, it will offer OEMs the opportunity to differentiate and deliver unique services with taking advantage of satellite connectivity.
As the global satellite market continues to grow, Qualcomm and its partners will keep breaking new ground and reaching new milestones in the quest to bring the best of satellite communications to our everyday lives.
