Wow...that was fast. Seems they will soon overtake even Qianfan satellite constellation who has been severly delayed recently, not sure when they will be back on track again. How many satellites does Geespace intend to launch for this constallation in total?
After 6 launches (including 3 very recently), the first phase of GeeSpace constellation with 72 satellites is complete.
64 launched not 72.

That is an apple and orange comparison. Jili constellation is an IoT net with speed only to 1.9KB/s. A decades old 3G broadband datarate is 2.6 MB/s, 1368 times. Qianfan and any counterparts are in the range of many MB/s. Not saying Jili is any insignificant, but it is not the same thing to compare with.Wow...that was fast.

Plus do you know when next Guowang next satellite will be launch? It will soon be a month when they last launched, they seem to have been accelerating their launch schedule recently, so i thought they will keep it up for the rest of the year.
