It must be remembered, of course, that the satellite connection of the iPhone 14 allows communication via satellite with emergency services in situations where there is no mobile phone coverage due to location or other reasons.
It is also a function that binds the software and the hardware of Manzana, as the feature also offers the ability to instantly send medical data that anyone can enter on their iPhone to facilitate treatment by emergency services. Emergency response centers, on the other hand, do not require any “additional software or protocols” to receive communications.
