The Vivo X100 Ultra, with satellite connectivity, is the top-end variant in the upcoming premium Vivo X-series smartphones. This variant has now bagged the 3C certification in China. It appears Vivo is racing towards launching these premium smartphones soon.
Vivo X100 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition secures China’s 3C and MIIT certification
Vivo could launch the highly-hyped Vivo X100s and the Vivo X100 Ultra smartphones this month. These high-end, no-compromise smartphones are the first to belong to the newly created Vivo’s Ultra series.
Similar to the Xiaomi Mix edition smartphones, the Vivo Ultra series device will reportedly pack cutting-edge technology. Vivo has repeatedly hinted these devices would have “professional quality” imaging hardware.

The Vivo X100 Ultra has two variants. The regular iteration will have support for 5G connectivity. But, the higher-end variant, called “Vivo X100 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition” will also support satellite connectivity.
Recent reports indicated the Vivo X100 Ultra with just 5G connectivity is tagged with model number V2366GA. The Vivo X100 Ultra with satellite connectivity, however, is a different model. Vivo has been securing the necessary approvals for the device under model number V2366HA.

The Vivo V2366GA recently secured approval from Chinese certification platforms and now, the V2366HA has reportedly cleared the process. Incidentally, the Vivo X100 Ultra with Satellite connectivity has already secured radio certification in China.
Multiple upcoming smartphones to support satellite connectivity
The Vivo X100 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition recently bagged the MIIT certification. The certification indicated that it will support the Tiantong satellite communication system.
The Vivo X100 Ultra is the first Vivo smartphone to support satellite connectivity. However, it is not the only smartphone with this feature. Several Chinese smartphone manufacturers are actively embedding chips that communicate with geosynchronous satellites.

The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, Huawei P70 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and Oppo Find X7 Ultra are just some of the devices that support satellite connectivity support. These devices can make calls and receive messages by communicating with satellites.
Currently, smartphones communicate with the nearest cell tower, which, in turn, relays data to a nearby server. Almost all prevalent mobile communication standards work this way as they are faster and more efficient. However, companies like Starlink, OneWeb, and others are rapidly offering internet, voice, and text communication via satellites. Chinese smartphone manufacturers are taking this a step further.
The Tiantong satellite mobile communication system offers communication services over the S-band. The system currently includes Tiantong 1-01 and Tiantong 1-02 satellites and may welcome more in the future. Needless to say, these devices would offer satellite communication in select regions located in Asia.
