Bao Weimin said that
China plans to launch the global mobile broadband satellite Internet system within the year. When completed, it will become the foundation of a seamless global space information network, providing Internet transport services for ground fixation, hand-held mobile, vehicle-borne, ship-borne, airborne and other terminals.     

Bao added that the satellite Internet system can realize the communication support capability of broadband narrowband in the deep ocean, north and south poles, One Belt And One Road and other regions. Through this system, any person or object at any point on the earth realizes information interconnection at any time.
