China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation announced in late November 2023 that China has completed the initial setup of a high-orbit satellite internet network that covers the whole of China and key areas along the Belt and Road Initiative.
Orbiting at 36,000 kilometers high, the satellites can cover a vast area. The network can provide internet services to special areas like marine, desert, forest and mountainous areas where internet services are often obstructed by terrain, as well as industries such as aviation.
China is using the space-land integrated network as an important part of the construction of 6G networks to realize seamless connections and the Internet of Things, media reported.
