The Satellite communications for emergency calls They are popular in conventional smartphones. This technology, which was previously available on satellite phones, allows you to use satellite communication to make relief or emergency calls (SOS) in places where there is no mobile coverage.

Google has announced that satellite communications for emergencies are already available in its Google Pixel 9 mobiles, a function they supported by hardware, but that So far they were not available in our country or in the European continent.

The Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and the folding pixel 9 pro fold They are the only mobiles of the Pixel range that have the necessary hardware for this function. It is necessary to update the terminal to the latest version of the software that the company has launched. This update also brings some extra novelty such as sharing location with family and friends from “finding my device”, or connection to external cameras such as Gopro to transmit content.

Google includes a demo in the terminal to try how the function would work.

In addition to Europe, satellite calls in the Pixel also reach Alaska and Hawaii. All this for free (at least for the moment) as long as we call 911.
