Chinese satellite internet technology reaches 1 Gbps speed

Chinese researchers have achieved a 1 Gbps data transmission rate from a geostationary satellite, surpassing current Starlink speeds. This breakthrough could revolutionize internet access. The satellite, positioned 22,807 miles above Earth, utilized a new method to combat atmospheric turbulence, achieving significantly faster speeds than Starlink. The researchers combined adaptive optics and mode diversity reception to achieve the high data rate. This advancement, detailed in Acta Optica Sinica, also boasts a lower error rate, improving signal reliability. The technology could improve internet access in remote areas and potentially enhance communication with space missions.
