State-sponsored media called it a "milestone event" for the global satellite internet industry. China aims to deploy 108 satellites in 2022 and 540 more by 2025 for global internet coverage.
China's Qianfan Constellation is designed to cater to Internet of Things devices and technologies like autonomous driving, differentiating it from other satellite broadband projects worldwide.
The system may attract users from regions like Southeast Asia initially, as it faces hurdles in obtaining operating licenses within China. China plans to compete with established players like SpaceX and Amazon in the satellite broadband market.
