By two-way messaging service, it means that the Snapdragon Satellite will support two-way messaging for emergency use, SMS texting, and “other messaging applications”.

To accomplish this, Qualcomm partnered with Iridium. Iridium operates a 66-strong Low Earth orbit satellite constellation. This partnership with Qualcomm made the Snapdragon satellite possible and it’s coming to Android premium smartphones in the second half of 2023.
