Low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite services will be extended into foreign markets by PCCW Global and GalaxySpace, with an initial focus on Hong Kong and nations along the Belt and Road. Through PCCW Global’s vast international network, GalaxySpace expands its market reach while PCCW Global improves its satellite services by utilizing GalaxySpace’s cutting-edge LEO satellite technology.
The collaboration intends to give individuals, businesses, and governmental organizations in underdeveloped areas access to high-speed connection services. Furthermore, direct-to-cell technology—which allows smartphones and other mobile devices to connect directly to LEO satellites for voice, SMS, and internet services—allows mobile network providers to increase coverage in remote places infrastructure.
The global connection across critical areas is strengthened by this agreement since PCCW Global’s network spans over 3,000 cities globally. PCCW Global and GalaxySpace collaborate to use the advantages of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which exhibit a 90% reduction in latency when juxtaposed with geostationary/geosynchronous orbit (GEO/GSO) satellites.
Why does this matter?
New applications in the marine, aviation, Internet of Things, and drone services industries are made possible by this low-latency technology. For sectors that depend on real-time data and seamless communication, LEO satellites’ greater speed and efficiency open up possibilities for creative connection solutions and improve access to quick, dependable communications.
