Infinix was very much present at this year’s CES in Las Vegas, and we’ve decided to send the company one of our awards . At CES 2026 , Infinix, amongst other things, demonstrated its advanced mobile satellite technology, the Direct-to-Call tech . That deserved an award, so there you go. This technology shows us the next step in satellite communication availability for smartphone users. Well, users of mobile devices.
Infinix presented an industry-leading Direct-to-Call technology
The company developed an “industry-leading Direct-to-Call technology, offering a Satellite Communication solution for a consumer smartphone.” The company believes that this tech will boost the reliability of communication. Why? Well, because it’s not dependent on traditionally limited satellite service zones. North America and China were most often the regions where satellite communication was more available on phones than in any other part of the world.
That is exactly what Infinix wants to change. It wants to make it available globally, regardless of the region. Infinix used the ‘Space-Air-Ground’ integrated network. It successfully implemented the first satellite communication solution in a smartphone that provides coverage to regions that are underserved.
The company presented an efficient satellite modem in a phone form factor
Infinix also developed an architecture that enables automatic switching between terrestrial and satellite networks with ease. A high-performance link has also been included here. All that adds to an efficient satellite modem in a phone form factor. It supports reliable two-way voice calls and short message service for emergency and daily communication in areas where a regular signal is not available.
Infinix established a practical implementation of an all-scenario unified system. It provides a foundational model for high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivitheyty essential for moving towards 6G applications and also other applications such as AR. Let’s hope that one day, satellite communication will be readily available to everyone, regardless of where you are.
