Android operating system every year brings new interesting improvements that improve our user experience on a daily basis. Currently, the latest version of the Android operating system is the 13th generation, and interesting information related to the operating system is already appearing on the Internet Android 14.
Satellite connections in smartphones
It's no secret that mobile operator T-Mobile and founder Elon Musk's increasingly popular company SpaceX are working together to make available a more sophisticated and complex satellite connection for smartphones. Thanks to the availability of this technology, for example, the so-called "dead zones" where there is no mobile signal will be filled.
At the end of next year, T-Mobile is going to introduce a new use of the satellite network, with which it will be possible to send SMS or MMS, while in the next months the operator would like to bring the possibility of making classic phone calls via the aforementioned satellite network.
Google is preparing the ground
Since the trend of new use of the satellite network is already slowly but surely taking off, software developers do not want to rest on their laurels. Hiroshi Lockheimer, a software engineer at Google, just recently published a post on the social network Twitter, teasing us about the new technologies in the Android 14 operating system.
Wild to think about user experiences for phones that can connect to satellites. When we launched G1 in '08 it was a stretch to get 3G + Wifi working. Now we're designing for satellites. Cool! Excited to support our partners in enabling all of this in the next version of Android!

According to Hiroshi, Google is currently working on implementing a software solution for a new satellite connection to the Android 14 operating system. In the post, Hiroshi also recalled the old days when the company worked hard on developing new technologies for the first Android smartphone (HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1).
We will have to wait for more details about this interesting news for some time, but it is already clear that we have something to look forward to. It is remarkable to see how technology has advanced significantly in recent years, making it all the more exciting to watch the coming years in the world of technology and science.
