It is revealed that China Unicom and China Mobile will follow up the satellite communication business: direct connection of mobile phones to satellites can save lives at critical moments

According to news on March 11, Tiantong satellite is the key to realizing satellite communication for domestic mobile phones and other terminals. There are currently three satellites in space, all operated by China Telecom.

Users who want to experience satellite calls and satellite messages not only need equipment support, but also must use China Telecom’s cards and activate related services.

A few days ago, the digital blogger "Dingjiao Digital" published an article saying, "Telecom has launched a satellite communications business, and the other two domestic giants, China Unicom and China Mobile, cannot stand by."

The blogger revealed, "I probably saw the other two operators taking action from the middle to late this year to the beginning of next year."

This means, China Unicom and China Mobile will follow up to support satellite communication services, allowing more users to experience satellite communications and accelerating the coverage of this service.

What is worth looking forward to is that after China Unicom and China Mobile launch satellite communication services, more packages may be launched, and tariffs are expected to be reduced.

It is understood that China Mobile has previously announced that it has jointly completed the NR-NTH low-orbit satellite laboratory simulation verification with ZTE and Keysight Technologies, which can support mobile phone satellite broadband services.

Experimental data shows that the measured download rate can reach 5.1Mbps and the maximum loopback delay is 15ms. It can be judged from the data that NR-NTH can provide users with broadband Internet access services that directly connect mobile phones to satellites.

After mobile phones have satellite communication functions, users can use mobile phones to directly connect to satellite services for emergency communication and rescue in uninhabited areas or when natural disasters such as earthquakes occur, which can save lives at critical moments.
