(Telecompaper) Apple has hired a team of aerospace engineers to work on satellite technology that could be used for mobile communication for Apple devices, with no need for a third-party network, Bloomberg reported. The idea is not to build up satellite hardware but to develop transmission devices for orbital communications equipment. The system could be used to deliver data directly to Apple devices or to connect the devices to each other. It could also be used to give more accurate location services.
