China Makes Satellite to Ground Station Transmission Speed Breakthrough
“China has made a satellite to ground station transmission speed breakthrough after successfully conducting its first 100Gbps ultra-high-speed satellite-to-ground laser transmission test for high-resolution remote sensing imagery.”
“The Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd carried out the 6G-tech test. The result is a ten-fold improvement on tests carried out by the same company just one year ago and bests the speeds Starlink offers. The result was described as the ‘equivalent to transmitting ten full-length movies in just one second.'”
“We plan to deploy these laser communication units across all satellites in the Jilin-1 constellation to improve their efficiency, with the goal of networking 300 satellites by 2027.”
