Chinese satellite breaks all records and directly threatens Starlink with its secret technology
Further, Faster: A Chinese Satellite Shakes Up Starlink. What hidden trick gives it such a lead?
Engineers have compensated for these constraints with a combination of powerful transmitters, large aperture optics, and ultra-stable pointing control, allowing for a narrow beam and high signal-to-noise ratio reception despite the distance. The benefits cover high-value domains: long-range secure links, interconnections of critical networks, high-speed backhaul for internet access and real-time services (videoconferencing, heavy content streaming), as well as the resilience of digital infrastructures in case of congestion or crisis. In parallel, the claimed superiority in speed imposes direct competitive pressure on Starlink, which will need to accelerate the evolution of its optical links and network architecture to maintain its position in the race for new-generation constellations and orbital relays.
