The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry”, which clearly outlines the need to enhance low-orbit satellite internet capabilities to achieve global coverage of satellite broadband communication networks. The plan requires improving the functionality and performance of low-orbit satellite payloads, achieving a capacity of over 100 Gbps per satellite, and supporting core capabilities such as intersatellite links and on-board processing. At the same time, it will establish ground-space interconnection centers to strengthen national layout and promote efficient interconnection of space and ground infrastructure; deepen commercial trials of satellite IoT, providing wide-area connections between space, ground, sea, and air for various devices and vehicles; and promote direct satellite-connected mobile applications, facilitating their deep integration with terrestrial 5G/6G mobile communication networks.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry”, proposing to enhance the capabilities of low-orbit satellite internet to achieve global coverage of satellite broadband communication networks. The plan requires improving the functions and performance of low-orbit satellite payloads, achieving a single satellite capacity of over 100 Gbps, and supporting core capabilities such as inter-satellite links and on-board processing. At the same time, it aims to establish satellite-ground interconnection centers, strengthen national infrastructure layout to promote efficient interconnectivity between space and ground; deepen commercial trials of satellite IoT, providing wide-area connections between space, ground, sea, and air for various devices and vehicles; and promote direct satellite-connected mobile applications, facilitating their deep integration with terrestrial 5G/6G mobile communication networks.
