An innovative infrastructure
IPhone 14 antennas connect to the satellite frequency because of Apple’s design components and software. The low bandwidth allows the creation of a compressed algorithm that allows text messages to be three times smaller thereby speeding up communication.
Text messages are route on the ground through a complex infrastructure to emergency service providers. Text messages are only accepted by some, for those who don’t an emergency relay centre was set up with Apple – trained specialists who will call for help on your behalf.
Friends can tell how remote you Go
