Google Files Patent For Narrow Band Satellite Android Phones

A recent publication from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of a patent application has revealed that Google, the US technology giant may launch a smartphone with the additional narrowband satellite connectivity option. If this turns out to be true, it will make the already much-desired android smartphones even more desirable over its rivals.

WHAT IS A NARROWBAND SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

The narrowband satellite communication uses one or more orbital satellites for enabling communication between users. This is different from the traditional method of communication that uses cell towers to enable users to connect with each other wirelessly. This form of communication will allow the users to have an additional option through which they can communicate. The smart device will effectively choose between the 5G connection available and the narrowband satellite connection as per the quality of each connection available at a certain point of time.
