In the Northern Conflict, Starlink can be said to have attracted countless attention and earned enough attention. The rumors about Starlink are becoming more and more outrageous, almost to the point of deification.
In fact, the quality of Starlink is not high. The trouble is that there are too many of them, occupying a large amount of low-orbit high-quality resources. To put it bluntly, the actual role of Starlink is more to "grab territory." In this process, Musk used Starlink to brag wildly to make money, and the United States also spared no effort to support Starlink in preparation for grabbing more space resources.
The blown Starlink
Although Starlink is not very capable, Musk must make "him" very strong, otherwise he will not be able to attract investment and launch more satellites (the number of Starlink satellites launched has exceeded Three thousand).
For Starlink to look strong, it must have enough topicality and various "advanced" functions. For example, Musk has repeatedly promoted the communication capabilities of Starlink, which can bring higher-quality Internet services to the world. And he also said that Starlink can bypass 5G and reach 6G directly.
As a result, when it comes to application, the Starlink service has become a high cost and a "big pot" to enjoy. And the so-called 6G is even more illusory, with no clue at all. However, this does not prevent Musk from defining it as "advanced" and "high quality".
is starting to act like a monster again
Now, Starlink, which has not been famous for a long time, is starting to act like a monster again. Musk claimed that he would cooperate with T-Mobile, the third largest operator in the United States, to launch a new generation of satellite communication services, also known as "Starlink Second Generation". Specifically,
provides more connection services to smartphone users through Starlink satellites, ensuring that they can use text messages or voice services in remote areas without cellular mobile networks.
Musk also said that when people are in areas with no signal and need emergency help, "Starlink II" will save their lives. Does
sound very advanced? But it is estimated that it will be difficult for consumers to pay for this. First of all, the network speed of this service is only 2-4MBits. It can only send text messages and voice calls. If you want to use it to surf the Internet normally, you are overthinking it. Secondly, most people live in cities and suburbs, and few people wander around in deserted places. Therefore, the application space of this service is also very small.
If you want to experience a relatively high-quality Starlink communication service, it is not impossible. It costs $99 per month, and you can buy a set of supporting equipment worth $549 (including a large pot of and ).
Since the functions of Starlink II are somewhat useless, why is Musk still engaging in such a big battle? In fact, the purpose is still the same at the beginning, to continue to maintain the aura of "Starlink" and continue to collect funds to occupy more low-orbit orbit resources.
Satellite communications, the prospect is immeasurable
Satellite communications Although currently it is limited to relatively "tasteless" applications such as emergency rescue in remote areas, with the growth of technology, the use scenarios of satellite communication functions are constantly expanding. Including what we call the next 6G trend, it is very likely that it will also require the support of satellite communications.
When ordinary people can also enjoy the benefits of satellite communication functions, that is when it will truly shine and have the highest market value.
Musk’s Starlink is different from the traditional competition model. Individually, its technical content and performance are weaker than those of high-quality satellites, but the mode of competition is not one-on-one, but a siege.
According to the plan, Starlink will eventually launch 42,000 satellites to complete the network. However, the entire low-orbit orbit resource is only enough to accommodate 60,000 satellites. If Starlink is really successful, the United States will be able to occupy more than two-thirds of the orbital resources just by relying on Starlink. Behind
and Starlink is NASA, and it can also be used for military purposes. You can imagine how high its upper limit will be in the future. This is probably a routine of pretending to be a pig, eating a tiger, and then slowly developing into a tiger. Furthermore, the technology of Space X is not weak. Although the Starlink satellites are average, the rocket launch technology is solid.
We must pay attention to
Seizing low-orbit orbit resources and developing our own satellite communications is something we must pay attention to now. Just imagine, once satellite communications become mainstream and are widely used in daily life, what will happen if we don’t have our own set of satellite communications solutions?
uses Midea products and Midea satellite communications? How to ensure safety?
Europe is already feeling the crisis. In February, and Macron stated that Europe should have its own satellite communication network. In fact, earlier, Europe also planned to formulate space traffic regulations to restrict Starlink from reaching the sky.
At present, we already have the function of emergency satellite communication in uninhabited areas, which is the short message communication of Beidou , and this function will be equipped on Huawei Mate 50, ahead of Starlink and its old rival apple .
But after all, Beidou is more focused on navigation, not a communication satellite in the traditional sense. We are still building our own communication satellite system. Currently, a domestic company code-named "GW" has drawn up the GW-A59 and GW2 plans, and is expected to launch about 13,000 satellites to build the network. Moreover, the test satellite of this plan has been launched, and the next step is to slowly launch the satellite network.
Some people may be impatient. Starlink has been around for so long and we have just started. Is it too late?
Don’t worry, although Starlink started very early, it has only launched 3,000 units so far, and it is still early to reach 40,000 units. Moreover, low-Earth orbit Internet satellite networking is not just something you can do if you want. It requires you to have strong aerospace capabilities and technical reserves, such as the most basic one, rocket recovery.
If you can’t even recycle rockets, how can you launch tens of thousands of satellites? You think the Rockets are nothing but cabbage. Therefore, the threshold is very high. The problem is not only satellites, but also many other aspects that need to be adequately prepared. Moreover, we will not be as unreliable as Musk.
What Musk thinks is that I will send it upward first to occupy the orbital resources. No matter whether it fell off at the back or the quality is not good, the worst case is that it needs to be re-launched. In short, it is to seize the territory first. This is essentially a hooligan behavior. We are not hooligans, and there are still plenty of low-orbit orbit resources, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Leave professional matters to professionals, trust our scientists. We have both space station and , and we will also have low-orbit Internet satellites!
