The Starlink satellite communication strategy of the SpaseX company owned by Elon Musk – each of us heard something about this system, knows something. We are definitely little informed about the akin strategy created in China since 2020 by China Satellite Network Group Co. Ltd. (chin. 中国卫星网络集团有限公司), and named GW China Star Net (chin. 中国之星网). At the moment, the strategy creates 800 satellites, the mark number of which is 12 thousand. This is due in 2030.
Parallelly, since the end of 2023, a task is being developed to make mega constellations of communication satellites in low orbit. This task is called the G60 Star Chain. The task involves companies from Shanghai together with the administration of 8 cities located a radius of 300 km distant from this, metropolis.
The G60 task plans to launch at least 108 satellites to supply commercial broadband access services by mid-2024. A complete industrial chain capable of producing 300 satellites per year for this peculiar task will be built by 2027. By 2035, the G60 will consist of a constellation of 13,000 satellites. They'll be placed closer to Earth than the Starlink system. The size of the Chinese network will be akin to the American one.
Both projects were launched late in relation to Starlink, and so their implementation will should be accelerated significantly. It is simply a essential condition to fight for a competitive marketplace for global communications and navigation services utilizing broadband Internet, for terrestrial, air or sea users.
The satellite net in the presently promoted expression is simply a strategy of up to tens of thousands of tiny satellites creating a "constellation" that is simply a “space base station” – suitable base stations in ground communications.
The advantages of the concept of satellite net include: universal access to the network from all corner of the world, or a tiny hold between broadcasting and receiving the signal. The satellite network will besides be an crucial component of the 6G communication system, where the data transmission rate is to scope 100 Gbps and higher.
The network of the satellite net will drive the improvement of distant sensing, large data sets, artificial intelligence, quantum communication and another fields, hence it has immense prospects for development.
In both Chinese projects, the leader in the improvement of telecommunications systems, HuaWei (chin. 华为) plays an crucial role.
