In today's WTF moment…..
As COVID-19 lockdowns are lifted in Hubei Province, China plans this month to launch a satellite named after its virus hotspot capital, Wuhan.
The “Wuhan” is one of two newly built communications satellites supporting China’s part in the Internet of Things project, wherein “things” such as machinery, wearable devices, kitchen appliances and other items are connected to the Internet.
China has touted its 5G wireless technology as giving the nation an edge in the Internet of Things, or IoT. Aiming to become the world’s largest IoT market by 2022, China continued through the pandemic to build the two satellites.
