China has successfully achieved a significant breakthrough by testing a laser communication link between a high-orbit satellite and the ground, achieving a two-day data transfer at 1 gigabit per second over a distance of more than 40,000 kilometres.

The primary objective of satellite-ground laser communication research focuses on two main areas: increasing downlink speeds to handle arguing data volumes in specific scenarios and improving long-term real-time communication capabilities in high-orbit environments. These advancements are crucial for space systems and cutting-edge interactive tools.

The successful collaboration between the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Electronics and the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications forged a robust laser connection between an observatory in southwestern Yunnan Province and a geosynchronous satellite.

The recent development enables satellites not only to transmit data immediately but also to receive complex commands in real time, opening avenues for transforming high-orbit satellites from passive data relays into intelligent processing centers.

Recent experiments have confirmed the deep-space communication capabilities of ground stations. These technologies provide a mature engineering model set for future large-scale applications. Furthermore, laser communication offers up to 1,000 times the bandwidth of conventional systems, resolving data bottlenecks and achieving remarkable results for high-resolution remote sensing.

[Barcelona, Spain, March 3, 2026] During MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei held a summit themed “AI+, Accelerating Healthcare Intelligence.” The event gathered leading global healthcare experts, academics, and industry partners to envision the new future of digital and intelligent healthcare. At the summit, Huawei teamed up with HM Hospitals, Spain to officially launch the Global Smart Healthcare Showcase. Xavier Tarrago Bonfill, Digital Transformation Project Director of HM Hospitals, Spain, William Zhang, President of the Healthcare BU, Huawei, and Kai Zhang, Director of Healthcare Industry in Spain, Huawei unveiled the showcase together.

Xavier Tarrago Bonfill, Digital Transformation Project Director of HM Hospitals, detailed the technical architecture and application achievements of the showcase in his keynote speech. By upgrading digital and intelligent infrastructure and introducing Huawei’s solutions such as Medical Technology Digitalization and Smart Hospital Campus, both parties are comprehensively advancing the construction of smart hospitals. In campus and ward management scenarios, Wi-Fi 7 and high-performance devices have been deployed, paired with 2.5GE wired access to meet clinical requirements for low latency and high bandwidth. The deployment of CloudCampus and the CampusInsight platform enables intelligent network O&M. In the medical technology field, the group strengthened its hospital information system (HIS) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) with Huawei’s gateway-free, active-active, all-flash storage solution, ensuring seamless continuity of healthcare services. By further integrating a medical data lake built on scale-out storage, the group enabled automatic tiering of massive amounts of unstructured files. This not only addresses the ever-evolving needs of imaging and pathology systems, but also lays a high-speed digital foundation for smart diagnosis and treatment.
