It provides radio and television broadcasting, supplementary extension of terrestrial communications, rescue and disaster relief, maritime rights protections, and international peacekeeping with services including frequency track resource declaration and maintenance. The Broadband Division of Satcom Corporation is very interested in combining MeshBox and Satcom’s satellite terminals to implement the last mesh network mile and its innovative operation model. The two parties will further carry out technical docking and pilot network promotions. Mr. Dong of Satcom Broadband said that three high-throughput satellites including China Satellite No. 16 can provide support for MeshBox to develop the domestic market. The commerce department will continue to follow up and deepen the collaboration.

When Henry Wang and Jedi visited Satcom, their leaders and the general manager of the broadband business department led MeshBox to visit the satellite broadband network operation center and introduced the 15 satellites currently in orbit. Among them, satellite 16 has a bandwidth of 20Gbps, and a total of 400G mainly covers the developed areas of central and southeast China. Satcom will build an integrated air, space and ground operations and all nodes of the ground network will be displayed and maintained to meet different SLA (Service-Level Agreement) requirements.
Satcom’s management led MeshBox and his party to visit the product exhibition hall to introduce the Internet of Things, VOIP phones, high-definition TV and other businesses and related products. MeshBox personnel also tried out Satcom’s high-throughput satellite products such as VoIP and 4K HDTV and it was a wonderful interactive experience.
The MeshBox team communicated with Satcom where MeshBox introduced its own business, including the Space-Ground Integration Network, Internet of Things, distributed storage, inclusive finance, distributed computing, edge storage and computing. The Broadband Division of Satcom Corporation is very interested in utilizing MeshBox and Satcom’s satellite terminals to form the last mile of mesh network on the ground and establish innovative operation models. The two parties will further carry out technical docking and pilot network promotions.
