China's first 5G low-orbit broadband satellite with a communication capacity of 10 Gbps was officially released recently. This satellite is also the world's first low-orbit broadband satellite in the Q / V band, according to Sina Tech.
The satellite is the first satellite independently developed by China's commercial aerospace company Galaxy Aerospace, and also the first 200 kg-class satellite developed by a commercial aerospace company in China. A single star can cover 300,000 square kilometers, equivalent to about 50 Area, track height 1200Km
It will be launched in Jiuquan, Gansu this year. The launch will use a launcher series launcher developed by Aerospace Science and Technology Rocket Company.
The successful delivery of the first launch star of Galaxy Aerospace means that the first domestic low-orbit broadband satellite with a communication capacity of 10Gbps has entered a stable and reliable technical state for ground testing and is ready for installation.
Although the 5G era has begun, the current global network coverage faces huge challenges. It is difficult for ground base stations to cover all areas such as deserts and oceans. Low-orbit broadband communication satellites can solve the problem of global network coverage and access. The 4 billion people in the world with information poverty have networks.
In the not-too-distant future, it will become a very common scene to swipe a short video on a plane and make a video call.
In addition, because the speed of light in fiber is slower than the speed of radio in space, future low-orbit broadband communication satellites will bring more convenient experience to live broadcast reporters, financial practitioners and other people who require strict time synchronization. .
In recent years, American commercial space companies Oneweb and SpaceX have taken the lead in laying out low-orbit communication constellations. In the design of communication bandwidth, Galaxy Aerospace benchmarks internationally leading technologies, and for the first time in domestic low-orbit broadband satellites achieves technical benchmarking of international 10Gbps communications ability.
Xu Ming, founder and chairman of Galaxy Aerospace, stated that starting from the start star, Galaxy Aerospace will take the first step in the "space Internet". In the future, Galaxy Aerospace will develop and produce low-cost, high-performance 5G satellites through large-scale Build a space Internet, bridge the digital divide, and connect 5G satellite networks to every corner of the planet.
