TL;DR
  • A survivor of the tragic Nepal flood disaster says satellite connectivity helped him contact rescuers after conventional networks went down.
  • He was reportedly able to reach a helicopter and was evacuated from the disaster area.
  • The case shows the potentially life-saving value of satellite features being adopted by major phone manufacturers.

Satellite connectivity has gradually become a more familiar smartphone feature in recent years, offering a way to call for help when conventional networks aren’t available. The technology has now reportedly proved its worth during the tragic Tibet-Nepal flooding, with one survivor saying it helped him contact rescuers and escape to safety.

As reported by PhoneArena, a survivor caught up in the disaster said he was able to maintain communication with the outside world via satellite connectivity on his HUAWEI Mate X5 after regular network service was lost. He later posted about his experience on the social media account of HUAWEI Executive Director Richard Yu.
