Huawei reveals satellite internet test results for the first time

The results of Huawei's satellite Internet test have been spread across Chinese media, showing that this satellite Internet network achieved download speeds of up to 660 Mbps.

Huawei has officially become the next rare company in the world to successfully test a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet network, similar to SpaceX's Starlink service.

Huawei begins to realize China's ambition of building a satellite Internet network.

In early November 2023, at the 'Aerospace Information Industry International Ecosystem' conference held in Chongqing (China), initial information about Huawei's satellite Internet test was revealed by Wang Jun, chief scientist of Huawei's 6G Wireless Technology Laboratory.

Huawei announced that its system has reached a download speed of 660 Mbps. Huawei's Mate 60 Pro smartphone series also has the ability to connect to geostationary (GEO) satellites.

However, Huawei has yet to announce an exact date for launching its commercial satellite internet network.

Apple will be the first technology company in the world to launch satellite communication feature on smartphones in 2022, with the launch of the iPhone 14 product line.

“Emergency Satellite Calling” allows iPhone owners in the United States, Canada and 14 other regions around the world to send messages to emergency services in conditions where there is no cellular signal.

It is not yet clear which satellite Huawei used to test LEO communications, but China has also begun launching its own LEO broadband satellites.

One such launch will take place in March 2023, when the Long March 2C rocket will launch into orbit a remote sensing satellite and six LEO satellites manufactured by GalaxySpaceX.

In June 2023, Chinese researchers tested these satellites in the South China Sea, marking the first such test in China.
