The Chinese satellite network tracks hundreds of millions of containers

During the testing phase, Tiantuo-5, compact satellite weighing 80 kg to orbit in 2020 with 2D missile 2D, playing a central role. Tiantuo-5, developed by the Chinese National Defense Technology University (NUDT) to test and verify the data collection technology for boats, aircraft, floating buoys with the support of the Internet of Words (IoT), Interesting Engineering On March 1, the news. New research published in magazines Journal of Nudt.

The test took place successfully, proving the satellite ability in collecting real -time data from IoT sensor installed on cargo containers. This allows the satellite network to monitor the location, internal conditions and invade warning. In the test, satellites collected and analyzed more than one million data transmission from ships around the world for a day, proving effective in monitoring global goods.

When completed, the network will consist of 66 low -cost Nano satellites, each satellite is smaller than a refrigerator. If successfully implemented all of them with the Truong Chinh missile team, China will establish the first large -scale IoT network with the ability to monitor at the same time hundreds of millions of containers of goods.

The team noted that one of the biggest innovations is the slow -moving “static” sensor, for example the sensor is mounted on containers at the port, with sensor mounted on goods moving fast by separate signal protocols, preventing data conflicts. They also adjust the capital used for missile tracking systems so that they process data at 10 times faster than commercial satellite networks.

The new satellite network can support China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by combining global infrastructure projects with data -based logistics monitoring. The team said that the network will also help deal with pirates, illegal trading and drug smuggling.
