In January 2017, Gui founded Rhosoon with several USTC alumni. The company specializes in the R&D of broadband satellite internet terminals.

"With the development of the communications industry, low-orbit civil satellites can be put into use in the future, and the future application scenarios of satellite communications terminals will be very broad," Gui said.

He added that 6G technology will be the combination of terrestrial 5G and low-orbit satellites, which will improve the seamless broadband network coverage for users and have a broad application space.

According to Gui, a reliable satellite signal-receiving device can allow a user to connect to the Internet easily and from anywhere.

With a strong R&D team, Rhosoon has been able to solve network connection difficulties in application scenarios such as navigation and aviation, emergency command, emergency rescue, oil exploration and power inspection with a series of advanced products.

Satellite internet has been added to a list of "new infrastructures" that would government support in April 2020. Gui said that he and his team are ready to seize the development opportunities that are presented.
