On the 27th, it was learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the department has issued the "Guiding Opinions on Optimizing Business Access and Promoting the Development of Satellite Communication Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") to deepen the reform of satellite communication access system and promote the high-quality development of satellite communication industry. The Opinion proposes that by 2030, the satellite communication management system and policies and regulations will be further improved, the industrial development environment will continue to optimize, various business entities will have full innovation vitality, the comprehensive development level of infrastructure, industrial supply, technical standards, international cooperation, etc. will be significantly improved, new models and formats such as direct connection of mobile phones to satellites will be applied on a large scale, satellite communication users will exceed ten million, and satellite communication will be fully integrated into the new development pattern. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that at present, the satellite Internet is developing rapidly. The integration of heaven and earth has become an important trend and feature of the development of the information and communication technology industry. Mobile phones, cars, drones and other direct connected satellites are actively exploring innovation. Satellite communication is rapidly expanding from professional fields to the general public, and is expected to form a new economic growth point. The Opinion proposes a series of measures to promote the high-quality development of the satellite communication industry, including orderly expansion of market opening, continuous expansion of application scenarios, cultivation and strengthening of industrial ecology, optimization of telecommunications resource supply, strengthening satellite communication supervision, and enhancing collaborative efforts. The Opinions proposed to support the accelerated development of LEO satellite Internet, drive collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and achieve global broadband network coverage; Support telecommunications operators to carry out direct satellite service for terminal equipment, fully utilize high and low orbit satellite resources through co construction and sharing, and accelerate the popularization and extension of satellite communication applications from professional fields to the general public; Organize commercial trials of satellite IoT, study the establishment of new satellite communication services, and further expand opening up to private enterprises. The Opinion emphasizes the continuous development of key core technologies and product research for satellite communication, enhancing the supply level of basic components, chips, key terminal equipment products, etc., improving the performance of satellite communication technology, and reducing user usage costs. Promote the deep integration of new generation information and communication technologies such as satellite communication, 5G/6G, and artificial intelligence, and accelerate the innovative development of satellite communication technologies such as non terrestrial networks (NTNs). The above person in charge said that he would support state-owned satellite communication enterprises to accelerate the development of LEO satellite Internet, support telecom operators to carry out direct satellite business with mobile phones and other terminal equipment, support private enterprises to explore new satellite communication services such as satellite Internet of Things, and orderly promote the development of satellite communication business by business, stage and step. We should fully leverage the advantages of satellite communication and support its application in traditional fields such as emergency communication and digital welfare for the people. Strengthen the cross integration of satellite communication and new generation information infrastructure, promote direct connection of satellites to mobile phones, cars, airplanes, etc., and vigorously develop popular satellite communication applications.
