The first-ever video call in the entire world has been performed by Vodafone. Vodafone performed it with 4G and 5G smartphones. Vodafone is the first organization to have executed a space call in outer space.
The distinguishing fact is that a satellite connectivity-enabling phone hasn't been used for this video call, but it could have only been accomplished through a mere 5G smartphone.
In contrast to traditional satellite service, no satellite phone, external dish, or specific terminal is required with this technology. It works in a similar way to current 4G and 5G networks, with smartphones capable of switching between satellite and ground networks seamlessly.
