In a groundbreaking move, a Chinese commercial space company is expanding its low-orbit satellite internet services beyond the Chinese mainland, marking a significant milestone in international connectivity. GalaxySpace, headquartered in Beijing, has partnered with Thailand's Mahanakorn University of Technology to conduct the inaugural trial of a low-orbit satellite broadband network in Thailand.
This collaboration led to the establishment of a state-of-the-art ground test station, enabling continuous observation of millimeter-wave satellite communication capabilities under various local weather conditions. According to Liu Chang, Vice President of GalaxySpace, the project not only enhances Thailand's technological infrastructure but also provides a valuable platform for local enterprises and academic institutions to advance research in satellite communication systems.
The deployment of low-orbit satellite internet technology in Thailand is expected to boost internet accessibility and reliability, supporting the country's growing demand for high-speed connectivity in both urban and remote areas. By venturing into the Thai market, GalaxySpace is setting the stage for broader international applications of its innovative satellite solutions, potentially transforming the landscape of global internet services.
This initiative reflects the increasing globalization of space technology and highlights the importance of international partnerships in advancing technological capabilities and fostering economic growth.
