"Where is your ship at present? Is there anything unusual at sea..." Recently, Quanzhou, Fujian, ushered in the "fishing opening" period in an all-round way. 1449 large and medium-sized fishing boats in the city took the lead in installing Skyphone to solve the problem of emergency communication for fishermen going to sea. Tiantong satellite telephone communication service is exclusively operated by China Telecom. It will be officially commercially available in 2020. As long as you can see the sky in China's territory and territorial waters, you can search for Tiantong satellite signals, which makes Tiantong satellite phone the first choice for emergency disaster relief. With the advent of the "fishing opening" period, hundreds of fishing boats set sail to the fishing ground. As fishing vessels are sometimes located in the open sea area, which cannot be covered by the ordinary network, China Telecom Quanzhou Branch and Quanzhou Maritime and Fishery Bureau signed a framework cooperation agreement on "smart ocean construction", providing 1449 large and medium-sized fishing vessels in the city with Tiantong satellite phones. The emergency command telephone signal is stable and is not affected by bad weather. Under various scenarios, the emergency command center can directly transmit the onshore instructions to the fishing boat to further ensure the safety of fishermen's lives and property.

Coincidentally, recently, the first batch of 10 offshore demonstration fishing boats in Putuo, Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, completed the upgrading and transformation. Through the addition of satellite (Tiantong) phones and other communication facilities, the instant communication between fishing boats and onshore platforms was ensured, and the risk early warning capability of fishing boats was enhanced, which will make the fishermen brothers more comfortable and relieved to go to sea. In addition to fishery, a rainstorm last month cut off water, electricity and network in some areas of Zhengzhou, Henan Province. China Telecom allocated more than 1000 satellite phones to the front line of Henan rainstorm disaster relief, helping 11350 patients in the Henan hospital area of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University to transfer safely. In Mihe Town, Henan Province, where the disaster was serious, China Telecom satellite cars rushed to the scene to make up for the lack of communication. The base station was opened through the satellite link, and the "Tiantong Satellite Phone" helped the affected villagers get through the first phone call after the disaster.

In addition, Guangdong has deployed Tiantong phones to township level governments and streets, and 1574 cities, prefectures and townships are equipped with Tiantong satellite phones. In the forest fire in Muli, Sichuan, and the flood disaster in Guangxi, Tiantong satellite phone has been used. It is understood that China Telecom has provided voice, short message and data services based on the Tiantong satellite system for tens of thousands of industrial customers in water conservancy, fire protection, forestry, armed police, power, marine, fishery and other fields. Tiantong satellite realizes omnidirectional communication without dead angle

China Telecom Tiantong Satellite Phone is the first independently developed satellite mobile communication system in China. The chips and terminal equipment of the system are all developed and produced in China, filling the gap in the domestic independent mobile communication system. China can implement network encryption on it, fully realizing independently developed, stable, reliable, secure and confidential satellite voice and data communication, and truly ensuring the communication security of domestic users. The Tiantong satellite mobile communication system and the ground mobile communication system together constitute a mobile communication network, realizing the comprehensive coverage of China's territory and territorial sea, and expanding from China's territory and territorial sea to the surrounding areas, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Indian Ocean and other sea areas. Tiantong satellite signals can be found wherever you can see the sky, no matter in the deep mountains of the plateau or in the ocean lakes.
China Telecom is the only operator and service provider of Tiantong Satellite Communication. Using the mobile phone number of section 1740 as the service number, China Telecom has achieved the interconnection and interworking with the communication networks of domestic and foreign communication operators, providing users with all-weather, all-time, stable and reliable mobile communication services, and realizing "communication with anyone at any place and any time in China". The construction of the land, sea, air and space integrated communication system, Tiantong 1, breaks the geographical limitations and is a supplement to the existence of blind areas in public networks. The voice gateway of the satellite mobile station can not only ensure the success rate of the call, but also interconnect with the rear mobile voice communication and wired telephone. Tiantong satellite system, China Telecom 4G/5G and optical wide network constitute a universal information network infrastructure integrating heaven and earth. With the support of Tiantong Satellite, China Telecom has become the only telecom operator integrating land, sea, air and space with "optical fiber on land, submarine cable under water, mobile in the air and satellite in the sky". In the future, the Tiantong 1 satellite system also plans to provide a wider range of services to the world. At present, China Telecom Satellite Corporation is applying for relevant operation licenses to develop maritime cruise ships and satellite communication phones in relevant overseas regions. China Telecom will further strengthen the infrastructure construction of Tiantong system, increase the promotion of Tiantong's international business, create high-quality services, enter the international market, and serve the construction of the "the Belt and Road".
