China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) announced a customized new system of small communication satellites for overseas users, on the sidelines of Airshow China 2018 held from November 6 to 11 in Zhuhai City. The system is based on the DFH-4F SMALL GEO Platform, which enables high-speed Internet services for overseas users in remote areas.
