Chinese researchers achieve a 1Gbps satellite laser downlink from 36,000 kilometres above Earth using a 2-watt laser. This achievement has placed them far ahead of Starlink speeds with record-breaking efficiency. China has achieved a remarkable feat in the field of satellite communications. From a satellite parked in the geostationary orbit (GEO)—approximately 36,000 km above Earth — scientists successfully established a 1Gbps laser downlink using only a 2-wa... [2423 chars]
