The Huawei Mate 60 series might feature satellite phone capabilities

Huawei is currently in the process of developing a new lineup, expected to include satellite connectivity. The upcoming flagship phones from the company seem poised to support voice calls through a new power amplification chip.

The upcoming Huawei Mate 60 series is anticipated to incorporate power amplification (PA) chips manufactured by Chinese chip producers. These PA chips are specifically designed for the Tiantong-1 satellite mobile communication system. This satellite system can be utilized for voice communication, image transmission, precise positioning, and data reporting.

Power amplification chips play a crucial role in devices utilizing these satellite features. They are currently integrated into Huawei's Mate X3 and P60, both supporting two-way satellite communication via SMS. These chips amplify high-frequency signals produced by the integrated radio frequency communication (RF-IC) circuit to the necessary output levels and supply them to the antenna. This amplification process is essential for efficient satellite communication, including voice calls.

There are speculations that PA chips will be integrated into the Huawei Mate 60 series, and surprisingly, Huawei is not handling the production. Instead, the responsibility has been assigned to an undisclosed Chinese chip manufacturer. The rumored new chip is said to enable the Huawei Mate 60 to support satellite voice calls. Let's stay tuned for more updates!
