After two years of efforts, China's domestic satellite communication network officially completed on July 8, 1986.
communications satellite is 36,000 km above the Earth above the equator, geostationary satellites as relay stations to achieve the modernization of regional communication. Currently, more than 20 countries in the world to establish a domestic satellite communication network. China's domestic satellite communication network built, marking China's telecommunications industry Youxiang modern forward step. For the transfer of national integrated television and television educational programs, create a good way. It to improve our posts and telecommunications in remote areas backward state, also played an important role.
China has a vast territory, the existing open wire, cable, microwave communications network has been unable to meet the needs of modernization. Satellite communications are an important means of communication for modern aerospace technology and is the rapid development of electronic technology combined generated. Than with open wire, cable, microwave, and other means of communication, satellite communication transmission distance, large capacity communication, communication quality construction and low cost advantages. China's satellite communication network rental and purchase of international satellite communications organization in the Indian Ocean over the satellite transponder, you can link up the five earth stations in Beijing, Lhasa, Urumqi, Hohhot, Guangzhou, covering all the territory of our country. semi-automatic long distance between Beijing to Urumqi, Hohhot, Lhasa, telephone, telegraph, data and facsimile services
