Chinese researchers have made an impressive leap in satellite communication by using a 2-watt laser to transmit data at speeds far outpacing Starlink. According to South China Morning Post, the speed of 1 Gbps achieved by the Chinese satellite is five times faster than what Starlink can offer, positioning this innovation as a game-changer for satellite communication. Overcoming Atmospheric TurbulenceOne of the most challenging hurdles for satellite communication has always been atmospheric turbulence. This algorithm analyzes the signal strength of eight different channels, each carrying a part of the laser transmission. This added layer of precision means fewer errors, even with weak laser signals, and increased reliability for data transmission.
