Apple's Satcom Partner Eyes India, Applies to IN-SPACE

A company that provides iPhone users satellite-based connectivity in case of emergencies has taken the first step to enter India. Apple Inc.'s satellite communication (satcom) partner Globalstar has filed its application with the Centre's nodal agency, Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), to enter the country, two people in the know said.

The US-based company's emergency SOS service allows iPhone users to send emergency text messages and share locations when they are in areas with no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

However, its application with IN-SPACe is just the start. The agency oversees space activities in India, particularly by private sector players, to authorize their constellation of satellites and capacity that can be used to provide services in the country.
