Recently, Huawei announced that it will hold its flagship spring new product conference in Shanghai on March 23, in addition to releasing many new products, such as Huawei P60 series, Huawei Mate X3 folding screen and so on.Huawei will also launch a new smartwatch product, Huawei Watch Ultimate, and announced that satellite communications technology will be devolved to the smartwatch product.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, terminal BG CEO and smart car solution BU CEO, said on social media: & ldquo; We have overcome the technical difficulties and realized the breakthrough application of & ldquo; upward poking heaven & rdquo; on the watch.Connecting everyone to the world through watches will be an epoch-making flagship product of Huawei. & rdquo; therefore, it is almost certain that Huawei Watch Ultimate supports Beidou satellite communication technology.

Huawei & ldquo; broke the sky & rdquo; 's technology first appeared in the Huawei Mate 50 series. Thanks to Huawei's years of deep cultivation in the communications field, Huawei has actually installed satellite communications on this series of phones and is the world's first mass smartphone to support Beidou satellite messages, which can still send messages to the outside world without terrestrial network signals.

Previously, satellite phones were basically used for maritime communications, exploration, etc., not civilian equipment. Huawei put it on the Huawei Mate 50 series to support China's own Beidou satellite, and will also use the scene to do civilian optimization.

In technical principle, Huawei's satellite communication technology is based on Beidou area short message technology, and uses three Beidou geostationary orbit satellites. Compared with Apple's low-orbit satellite, geostationary orbit satellite, as it is named, remains relatively stationary with the earth and has always been in the south of our sky. This allows users to adjust the direction of the mobile phone antenna without following the movement of the satellite when using Huawei satellite technology.

In order to reduce users' learning costs, Huawei can conduct satellite communications and support editing information through a visual UI design that guides users to aim their antennas at the south of the sky.

In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of satellite communication services, and reduce the noise and interference in the process of satellite signal transmission, Huawei uses high-gain algorithm to improve the signal decoding rate, focus the signal and reduce divergence, and can reach the satellite more centrally.

This technology is also reflected in many routers, according to the location of the user, the router will use & ldquo; beamforming & rdquo; scheme to enhance signal strength, in order to achieve a better network experience.

At the same time, in order to make this function stand the test of different environments, Huawei has been immersed in research and development for three years, and has traveled to 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government to test the stability of this function in different environments. Only to provide a better satellite communication experience in all scenarios. Huawei, with an ingenuity, combined with Beidou Satellite, took the lead in implementing this function on Huawei mobile phones before Apple.

From putting it in a pocket to putting on its wrist, Huawei has once again accomplished a feat of bringing satellite communications technology into smartwatch products, which requires strong product research and development strength and pioneering innovation. For consumers, watches have more personal needs than mobile phones, and the entry of satellite communication technology into Huawei WATCH Ultimate undoubtedly provides consumers with a strong security guarantee.
