Chinese satellite internet reaches 1Gbps, beats Starlink

Chinese scientists have achieved a 1Gbps satellite internet speed, surpassing Starlink's performance and potentially revolutionizing space-based communications. Researchers overcame atmospheric challenges to achieve this speed, five times faster than Starlink, using Adaptive Optics and Mode Diversity Reception. The satellite operates at 22,807 miles above Earth, demonstrating impressive data transmission capabilities. This breakthrough could improve internet access in remote areas and transform space mission communications. The technology, still experimental, may offer a faster, more reliable alternative to existing satellite internet services.
