China has completed the initial setup of its first high-orbit satellite internet, with its total capacity of high-throughput satellites expected to exceed 500 Gbps by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP) period (2021-2025).
By then, the high-throughput satellites will provide high-speed network communication and satellite internet access services for industries such as aviation, navigation, emergency, energy, and forestry and grass, according to China Satellite Communications, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Following the launch of a group of high-throughput communication satellites, including ChinaSat 16, ChinaSat 19 and ChinaSat 26, the high-orbit satellite internet fully covers the whole territory of China and key areas of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) participating countries.
These satellites have wide bandwidth and fast transmission speeds, facilitating video downloads and video calls.
In the future, China Satellite Communications will promote the construction of satellites with larger single-satellite capacity, said the company.
