PCCW Global and GalaxySpace partner to expand low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite services into international markets, initially focusing on Hong Kong and countries along the Belt and Road. By leveraging GalaxySpace’s advanced LEO satellite technology, PCCW Global enhances its satellite offerings while GalaxySpace broadens its market reach through PCCW Global’s extensive international network.

The partnership aims to extend high-speed connectivity services to underserved regions’ consumers, enterprises, and government entities. Additionally, mobile network providers can expand coverage in remote areas using direct-to-cell technology, which enables mobile phones and smart devices to connect directly to LEO satellites for voice, SMS, and broadband services without traditional infrastructure.

With PCCW Global’s network spanning over 3,000 cities worldwide, this collaboration strengthens global connectivity across key regions. PCCW Global and GalaxySpace partner to capitalise on the benefits of LEO satellites, which reduce latency by 90% compared to traditional geostationary/geosynchronous orbit (GEO/GSO) satellites.

Why does this matter?

This low-latency technology enables new applications across sectors like maritime, aviation, IoT, and drone services. LEO satellites’ increased speed and efficiency provide opportunities for innovative connectivity solutions, improving access to fast, reliable communications for industries that rely on real-time data and seamless communication.
