Can Huawei Mate 60 Pro connect to satellite on an airplane?Blogger’s actual test: It’s possible but the conditions are harsh
Kuai Technology reported on September 9 that Huawei Mate 60 Pro/Pro+ models have recently been launched. These are the only two mass smartphones on the market that support satellite phones.
According to reports, when there is no SIM card signal, the phone can also make calls through direct satellite connection, which will be a life-saving tool at critical moments.
Since this is the first launch function, everyone is very confused about various operations and scenarios.For example, can it be used on an airplane?
In this regard, the blogger “Technology Xiaoxin” specially conducted a test.The answer is: yes, but not entirely.
He actually measured that a specific angle is needed on the plane to connect to the satellite.Because the aircraft cabin will block the signal, you can only find stars through the windows. However, if the windows cannot be aligned with the satellites on the plane’s heading, the star search will fail and the connection will not be possible.
It should be noted that depending on the regulations of major airlines, some may not allow passengers to make private satellite phone calls, so it is recommended that you do not easily try to make satellite phone calls on the plane without permission.
After the launch of Huawei Mate 60 Pro/Pro+, China Telecom also launched a “mobile phone direct connection to satellite” service. The minimum monthly rent is only 10 yuan. All telecom packages are available. There is no need to change cards or numbers. Just activate the direct satellite connection function. Use it right out of the box.
After activation, you will receive 2 minutes of calls to the calling party and the called party. The standard rate for domestic (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) calls beyond the package is 9 yuan/minute for the calling party and the called party.
Bruce Lee, CTO of Huawei Terminal BG, said: “I think this is more suitable for ordinary users. It is equivalent to buying insurance for 10 yuan, which can save lives at critical moments.”
