A private Chinese commercial space company, in collaboration with a Thai university, has conducted the first trial of a low-orbit satellite internet broadband communication network successfully in Thailand.

This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.

The achievement marks the first overseas application and exploration of China's low-orbit broadband satellite internet.

GalaxySpace, a private satellite maker in Beijing, established a ground test station at the Mahanakorn University of Technology in Thailand, based on low-orbit broadband internet. It can continuously observe the communication capabilities of millimeter-wave satellite signals in local weather conditions.
