In this eye-opening episode of the vpod.ai Deep Dive, we explore a stunning leap in space communication: Chinese scientists have transmitted data from a geostationary satellite—36,000 km above Earth—at 1 Gbps using just a 2-watt laser. That’s faster than Starlink, at a fraction of the power.

Tune in as we unpack:

• How this "science fiction" level feat became reality
• Why traditional solutions like adaptive optics (AO) and mode diversity reception (MDR) weren’t enough—until now
• The breakthrough AOMDR synergy that finally conquered atmospheric turbulence
• Real-world implications for future laser comms, AI data transfer, and beyond

Plus, hear our final thoughts on how combining imperfect tools can sometimes solve the unsolvable.
