\n\tIt also illustrates the Group’s commitment to pursuing its strategy of offering a complete portfolio of mobile, terrestrial, satellite, and submarine connectivity solutions to all its customers, leveraging its innovation and technological diversification capabilities.<\/p>\n
\n\tBased on a partnership with Skylo, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) operator, this offer is available to Orange 5G and 5G+ customers, initially and exclusively, who own a smartphone from the Google Pixel 9 or 10 range. Subsequently, “Satellite Message” will be enriched in terms of services but also terminals.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis service relies on “Direct to Device” technology, which allows smartphones to communicate directly with a satellite. The experience is simple: just connect to the satellite via the dedicated SMS interface and then compose your message. The satellite then takes over to ensure the sending and receiving of the SMS via the Orange mobile core network.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt ensures reliable and simple continuity of SMS communication and is perfectly suited to certain uses or sectors of activity such as:<\/p>\n
-
<\/p>\n
-
\n\t\tFor adventurers and outdoor sports enthusiasts \u2009: staying connected with loved ones, in complete peace of mind, during treks, trail runs, mountain or sea outings.\u00a0As well as for all those who live or travel in areas not covered in France or abroad<\/li>\n<\/p>\n
-
\n\t\tEmergency response, logistics and transport services : for employees operating in isolated or poorly covered areas, or for teams responding after natural disasters when land networks are disrupted.<\/li>\n<\/p>\n
-
\n\t\tTourism : for all those who travel to mountainous, coastal or rural areas.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n
\n\tThe “Satellite Message” offer will be available as a free option for the first 6 months and then at a price of \u20ac5\/month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSatellite Message addresses the fundamental need to stay connected to those who matter, even when you’re far away. With this new offering, Orange provides a useful and simple innovation that strengthens service continuity for our customers, wherever they need it. Being the first operator in France to launch this option demonstrates our leadership in providing quality connectivity, everywhere and for everyone.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tMicha\u00ebl Trabbia, CEO of Orange Wholesale<\/p>\n
\n\t\tOrange combines the best available technologies to meet our customers\u2019 connectivity needs. Direct-to-Device technology is part of this approach, providing backup connectivity that is always available on smartphones even in the absence of mobile or Wi-Fi coverage. The launch of this technology in France with an SMS sending and receiving service is a major first step for the Group, paving the way for an enrichment of services available to Orange customers as technology evolves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Orange announced the launch of \u201cSatellite Message\u201d, an offer that allows its customers in Metropolitan France to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[41493,2000,299,36,183826],"class_list":{"0":"post-581615","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-direct-to-device","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-france","12":"tag-satellite-sms"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115579623889994179","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
