BeiDou
BeiDou is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) developed by China, providing accurate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services worldwide. It serves as an alternative to other major GNSS systems such as GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo (EU).
BeiDou is used in a wide range of industries, including transportation, geodesy, logistics, telecommunications, and industrial automation. It plays a vital role in applications requiring high-precision positioning, such as land surveying, IoT solutions, and smart city infrastructure.
The system consists of multiple satellites in different orbits, offering high reliability, regional augmentation capabilities, and seamless global coverage. BeiDou supports real-time positioning with high accuracy and is fully interoperable with other GNSS systems, enhancing multi-constellation navigation performance.
