About
Hongqing Technology next-generation low-Earth orbit broadband communication satellite is built on a self-developed low-cost, high-reliability, high-performance satellite platform. Designed with small transmission latency, large single-satellite capacity, and an advanced network architecture, it enables direct broadband connectivity for end users worldwide, including direct-to-smartphone service.
The satellite features a fully integrated flat-panel architecture that combines the antenna array directly with the satellite platform, maximizing space utilization. Its rocket-satellite co-design methodology addresses multi-satellite stacking challenges and enables rapid launch response with minimal energy consumption. The high-integration fusion design significantly reduces satellite verification costs, testing complexity, and development cycles compared to traditional approaches.
Key communication links include inter-satellite laser links for constellation mesh networking, satellite-to-ground feeder links for gateway connectivity, and satellite-to-user terminal links for direct broadband service delivery. Direct-to-phone capability enables commercial smartphones to access the constellation without special hardware, supporting HD voice calls, instant messaging, and email services.
