American billionaire Elon Musk html announced on the 215th that the US "Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX Company ) will continue to provide funds for Ukraine's ' Starlink ' Internet service." The US "Defense News" said on the 16th that "Starlink" played an important role in the Ukrainian military's combat operations, such as it can assist front-line reconnaissance drone operators to target key Russian equipment.
What is the "Starlink Plan"? As early as 2015, Musk proposed the concept of the "Starlink Project", which will use the satellite to provide free wireless networks for all humans on Earth. It plans to build a "Starlink" network composed of about 12,000 satellites in space between 2019 and 2024 to provide Internet services, of which 1,584 will be deployed in low-Earth orbit 550 kilometers above the earth, and work will begin in 2020. By 2020, Musk announced another 30,000 satellites, which means that the total number of satellites planned by Starlink will surge to 42,000.
"Starlink Plan" is the 6G we often mention. It will break the traditional human base station network communication method of ground layout, and use satellite networking to provide the earth with all-weather high-speed network services. Even if you are in any remote mountain village, you can use the satellite network services provided by "Starlink". As of August 31, 2022, the number of satellites launched by Starlink has reached 3,208, and the first phase of networking has been completed.
In recent years, as China's 5G gradually gained the initiative in its career, the United States has gradually begun to provide more policy support for Musk's "Starlink Plan". Once Musk's Starlink is realized, it will completely bring a communications revolution to mankind, and its impact on 5G networks will also be subversive, especially its application in the military field, which will pose a potential threat to China.
China's current 6G network is in the exploration stage, the number of applications for 6G related patents has ranked first in the world, and the construction of 6G network has become a major strategic layout at the national level.
