The company is the sixth largest fixed communication satellite operator in the world, with high-quality communication satellite resources and rich frequency orbit resources.

The company is the second fixed communication satellite operator in Asia and the sixth in the world. It operates and manages 15 commercial communication and broadcasting satellites. The satellite transponder resources cover C band, Ku band and Ka band, among which there are about 520 satellite transponders in C band and Ku band and 26 spot beams in Ka band. Satellite communications and broadcasting signals cover the whole of China, Australia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and other regions.

As a "national team" safeguarding the rights and interests of China's space frequency orbital resources, in more than 20 orbital positions within the arc section of geosynchronous orbit from 41.6 degrees west to 164 degrees east longitude, through the national authorities forward-looking to ITU a wealth of satellite network data, and actively carry out frequency coordination to maintain the effectiveness of the satellite network, of which more than 10 orbit positions have been operated and maintained for many years It has become a high-quality satellite frequency orbit resource.
