On August 7, Tongyu Communications successfully won the bid for China Southern Power Grid's second batch of innovative specialized technology projects for 2025—the “Technical Research on Metering Terminal Solutions for Low-Earth Orbit Satellites.” This award represents Tongyu Communications' practical achievement in deeply integrating satellite communication technology with power scenarios. Leveraging its technical expertise in satellite communication link construction and terminal adaptation, the company will provide solutions for connecting power metering terminals to low-Earth orbit satellite networks. This initiative will support China Southern Power Grid in exploring efficient models for power data collection and transmission, driving innovation and upgrading within the power industry's aerospace information application dimension.

I. Project Background Arising from Multiple Rigid Demands

On one hand, China's vast territory necessitates satellite communications to bridge coverage gaps in remote areas and other “communication islands,” ensuring comprehensive data collection across all scenarios. It serves as an emergency “lifeline” when natural disasters disrupt terrestrial communications. It also supports electricity data management in emerging scenarios like distributed renewable energy generation. On the other hand, the conflict between power marketing performance metrics and satellite communication blind spots has driven demand for more precise and reliable satellite communications. This, in turn, is accelerating the deep integration of satellite communication technology with power marketing operations.

II. Smart Solutions Deliver Multi-Layered Core Support

Tongyu Communications' metering terminal solution for low-Earth orbit satellites serves as a crucial pillar in overcoming numerous challenges within this project. It not only provides robust support for satellite communication technology applications in metering terminals, solidifying the foundation for technological implementation, but also enables self-diagnostic and self-maintenance capabilities for remote communication, ensuring stable terminal operation. The module's physical structure meets remote communication module requirements, perfectly adapting to relevant scenarios.

Furthermore, when natural disasters such as typhoons or sandstorms cause wireless network disruptions and power outages to metering terminals, the terminals can activate disaster emergency mode using rechargeable batteries and backup capacitors. Operating in low-power mode, they periodically transmit disaster alerts to the main metering station via low-Earth orbit satellites, ensuring seamless and reliable power metering communications across diverse scenarios.

III. Overcoming Communication Challenges: Practical and Strategic Value Coexist

As a critical research initiative addressing communication challenges for power metering terminals in specialized scenarios, its implementation will effectively alleviate communication difficulties during poor or interrupted wireless network coverage. This will significantly enhance grid coverage and disaster resilience, establishing a robust safeguard for the stable operation and efficient management of power systems. Particularly in remote or disaster-affected areas, it ensures real-time transmission of metering data, combining substantial practical value with strategic significance.

Undertaking this project holds particularly profound significance for Tongyu Communications. Leveraging smart solutions, Tongyu Communications will deeply engage in the integration of satellite communication technology with power scenarios. By overcoming project challenges and providing critical support, the company will not only refine its technical capabilities in relevant fields through practical application but also accumulate invaluable experience for cross-domain integration within the communications industry. This will drive innovative breakthroughs in specialized communication solutions, enabling communication technology to serve critical sectors like energy more efficiently.
