China's Qianfan Constellation Sprints to 324 In-Orbit — LEO Satellite Internet Hits Mass Deployment

According to Communications World and People's Daily, Yuanxin's Qianfan constellation has completed 6 networking launches with 108 satellites already in orbit. The 2026 target is 324 cumulative in-orbit sats — implying 216 satellites across 12 launches using the proven '18-sat-per-rocket' cadence, a steep improvement over 2025. The state-level China-Star-Net GW constellation plans 12,992 satellites, with 154 already launched — the strategic spine of China's LEO build-out. Under international 'first-come-first-served' spectrum-orbital rules, the deployment pace directly determines China's share of the trillion-yuan commercial-space pie. The entire value chain — satellite integration, launch capacity, ground terminals, SOTM antennas, servo stabilization platforms — is ramping in parallel. Repunite's shipborne SATCOM stabilization platform, vehicle-mounted SOTM pan-tilt and servo pan-tilt controller serve the satellite-tracking and pointing needs of fixed and mobile platforms.
