CCT, Tatwah, and state-owned industry veteran APT - have ambitions towards global expansion, beginning with the Southeast Asian market.
APT is looking to provide communication to Belt and Road countries, said Huang Baozhong, EVP of APT Satellite. “We are doing this step by step, including railway projects in Laos, including some Chinese projects in Malaysia and Indonesia. One example is West Sulawesi, in Indonesia, where there’s an industrial zone mainly backed by the Chinese companies. Even today, the local internet network is very poor. They asked us for help..and with one satellite covering so many countries, that will play a vital role [in connectivity]”.
