Lot's of problems for Apple and Satellite SOS. Expanding Satellite SOS service for Apple has been slow going. The largest issue is that Apple MUST set up it's own SOS Emergency Relay Centers in the countries they service to receive incoming messages and forward those to the correct Emergency Responders. dcrainmaker.com "Now, Apple says starting next month (December 2022), they’ll additionally roll it out to the following countries: – France – United Kingdom – Ireland – Germany You may ask why not all countries in Europe? Well, merely having satellite coverage is only one part (these 24 satellites already cover much of the globe within the latitudes noted). But in addition to satellite coverage, they need to ensure the Apple relay centers that funnel the traffic to the local emergency responder system is set up as well. That includes everything from having people actually speak French, German, and any other language they’re supporting. And even the differences between Canadian French and France French (Canadian French is supported at launch for Canada, and then France French upon launch there)" This is a huge burden and cost for Apple. But, there is already such a worldwide SOS Service Center already operational called GEOS. Why didn't Apple just contract with GEOS?? Perhaps GEOS was not "interested in the business" ¿¿Say Again?? You see, GEOS was purchased by Iridium's largest hardware partner Garmin in 2021. If GEOS refused Apple as a customer, that would perhaps but Apple in a position it had not considered before, and thus require Apple to build a worldwide SOS response center on its own. businesswire.com Qualcomm Snapdragon Satellite does not face such an issue as Garmin/GEOS announced it is looking forward to partnership with Qualcomm/Iridium. Qualcomm and Iridium entered into an agreement to bring satellite-based connectivity to next-generation premium Android smartphones; Garmin looks forward to collaborating with support for emergency messaging.
