According to the latest reports by Bloomberg California based multinational company Apple has a secret team currently working on satellite technology that the iPhone maker could use to beam data services directly to devices. Through this technology, the tech giant is planning to expand wireless networks, according to the public known with the work.
The Cupertino, California-based multinational company Apple has more than dozen of satellite, aerospace, and antenna design industries verticals working on this project with the objective of deploying their results within 5 years, said the people.

However; at present, the company is busy working on communications satellites and next-generation wireless technology that simply means the plan is likely to beam internet to a user’s device, potentially justifying the trust on wireless internet carriers, or for connecting devices mutually without a customary system of the network. With this secret plan, the company is also exploring satellites for more accurate location tracking for its devices, enabling better maps and the latest features. Apple Inc has a secret team of people and experts altogether working together for this purpose. This step is striving to find fresh conducts to beam data such as internet connectivity in a straight line to its devices.
The work on the satellite project is going on and is in its initial stage and still the clear direction and use for satellites haven’t been finalized to date. For now, Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, has revealed awareness in the plan, representing it’s the main concern. Apple is currently working on various communications satellites and next-generation wireless technology thus potentially mitigating the trust on wireless carriers.
For now, it is not clear according to reports that Apple intends to chase the costly development of a satellite gathering itself or merely bind on-the-ground equipment that would take data from presented satellites and send it to mobile devices. Due to all this, the ecommerce leading platform Amazon.com is also planning to deploy more than 3,000 satellites as part of an upcoming constellation. Newer efforts from SpaceX, Facebook, and Amazon are helping in boosting the overall revenue system, and Apple hardly ever enters fresh categories without an understandable means to make money.
Tim Farrar, a satellite expert, and principal at TMF associates said that-“The lessons of prior failures like Iridium, Globalstar and Teledesic are that it’s really hard to find a viable business plan for multibillion-dollar satellite communications projects,” said Tim Farrar.
At present, it’s not understandable whether Apple is planning to build up its own satellites or basically harness use on-ground tools to control the capabilities of accessible satellites. Well, it is a known fact that launching our own satellites is an expensive matter and a number of companies have failed.
