Core Viewpoint - China's telecom companies have submitted applications for 203,000 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite frequency resources to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), leading to a significant rise in related A-share sectors, indicating a potential new industrial opportunity in the market [3]. Group 1: Industry Dynamics - The competition for LEO orbital and frequency resources is intense due to their scarcity and irreproducibility. Current technology allows for the safe deployment of only about 100,000 to 175,000 LEO satellites, while global applications have already exceeded this threshold [5]. - SpaceX currently leads in satellite deployment with over 9,000 satellites in orbit, accounting for 60% of global LEO satellites. The company plans to reduce the orbital height of 4,400 satellites, further constraining resources for other nations [6]. - The ITU's "first come, first served" allocation rule emphasizes the need for early applications to secure development opportunities. China's recent applications are seen as a necessary step to lock in reasonable space for future aerospace development [5][6]. Group 2: Impact on Automotive Industry - The automotive industry is rapidly transitioning into the era of intelligent connectivity and autonomous driving, where high-speed communication and precise positioning are crucial. LEO satellites are essential for overcoming the limitations of traditional ground communication networks, especially in remote areas [7]. - Many smart connected vehicles are already equipped with satellite internet and phone functionalities, allowing users to communicate even when ground networks are unavailable [7]. - The demand for high-precision positioning in autonomous driving is increasing, with traditional GPS accuracy being insufficient. A complete domestic "star chain" could achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy, enhancing travel safety [8].
