"The operator’s low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite, which employs 6G design
architecture, was launched alongside another satellite housing China
Mobile’s 5G technology. The 6G test spacecraft reportedly hosts a
distributed autonomous architecture for 6G, co-developed by China Mobile
and the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of
Sciences (IAMCAS). It also uses Chinese software and hardware and supports
flexible deployment of core network functions and automated management. The
report, citing China Mobile, added that the two test satellites can deliver
more enhanced low latency and higher data transfer rates, as they orbit at
a height of around 500km compared with high-orbit satellites travelling at
36,000km. China Mobile is expected to conduct further trials based on the
6G satellite to speed up the development of the industry."
