Hold onto your phones, tech enthusiasts! China’s cutting-edge low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband internet has made its first overseas debut in Thailand, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between Beijing-based GalaxySpace and Bangkok’s Mahanakorn University of Technology.
The project, which tested high-speed internet communication via Chinese satellite tech, could revolutionize connectivity in remote areas—no cables or towers needed! "This collaboration is like adding 5G to the sky," said Supansa Keckley, director of the university’s satellite lab. "It’s a game-changer for Thailand’s tech future."
Why It Matters
LEO satellites orbit closer to Earth (under 2,000 km ), offering faster speeds and lower costs than traditional setups. Think of it as Starlink’s cool cousin—but with a made-in-China twist. The trial also lets Thai researchers study mmWave signals in tropical weather, boosting local aerospace innovation.
What’s Next?
This milestone isn’t just about internet—it’s a tech diplomacy win, bridging China’s space ambitions with Southeast Asia’s digital goals. Could this pave the way for global remote learning, telemedicine, or even #VanLife WiFi? Stay tuned!
