China Achieves First Mid-Orbit Satellite 4/5G Communication in Antarctica
Recently, China Telecom Satellite and Shanghai Qingshen Technology Development Co., Ltd. successfully conducted a groundbreaking test of mid-orbit satellite network integration with terrestrial 4/5G networks. This historic achievement marks China's first-ever mid-orbit satellite 4/5G communication in the Antarctic region.
The test utilized the "Smart SkyNet 01" satellite, part of a mid-orbit satellite network system proposed by Tsinghua University. Once fully deployed, this network will provide global broadband satellite coverage.
During the scientific expedition, China Telecom demonstrated the satellite's capabilities by testing data, SMS, voice, and video services. The results were impressive, with network speeds exceeding 100Mbps and latency around 300ms.
Here's how it works:
- Users at the Antarctic research station connect to China Telecom's 4/5G base station via mobile devices.
- The signal is then relayed through the mid-orbit satellite link.
- Finally, it connects to China Telecom's dedicated 4/5G core network, seamlessly integrating with terrestrial networks.
This successful test proves the reliability of mid-orbit satellites for polar communications, offering a viable solution for high-latitude regions and areas without ground network coverage. China Telecom has announced plans to further enhance its satellite-terrestrial communication technologies and applications in the future.
