Baku:China’s 16th Arctic Ocean expedition team announced that its polar icebreaker, Jidi, has successfully completed a pre-operational application test of domestically developed satellite internet along Arctic shipping routes.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, this achievement marks the first time that networked communications have been verified across the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, often referred to as the “Third Pole” of Earth. This development effectively closes the last communications coverage gap in the world.
The expedition was organized by China’s Ministry of Natural Resources.
