Super-speed internet could help Telemedicine
Japan has recently launched a new Satellite capable of providing internet connectivity at speeds of 1.2GB/sec around the world.
The satellite will initially focus on the Asia-Pacific region around Japan.
"Among other uses, this will make possible great advances in telemedicine, which will bring high-quality medical treatment to remote areas, and in distance education, connecting students and teachers separated by great distances," JAXA said.
