China navigation industry in the spring

Industry as the Beidou system into the homes of ordinary people, "the first Chunyan" the world's first "Compass GPS dual-system vehicle navigation products Huayang Group recently released.

"It marks the Big Dipper on the road of industrialization forward step." Global Positioning System in China Technical Application Association for Consultation Center Cao Chong "Science in China" interview, said, "Compass" has officially entered a new stage of construction and application of both , while the rapid growth of the directly driven by the "Beidou" navigation industry has become an indisputable fact.

The Beidou satellite navigation system (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System), China is implementing the self-development, independently run global satellite navigation system.

Jingnan, Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that despite the U.S. GPS monopoly domestic navigation more than 95 percent of the industry, but the unique technical advantages of the "Compass" will in the future practical application of gradually revealed.

The Beidou system is characterized by the communication function of sending short messages can be in two-way short message communication system within the coverage area, this is the innovative feature of the system. "Compass" turn the global system and regional systems, as well as regional augmentation systems together.

It is reported that the Beidou system of registered users reached 100,000, of which the number of military and civilian users around each half. The main areas of civil, marine fisheries, about 3 million, followed by water conservancy, meteorology, forestry, and so on.

Cao Chong told reporters, these users use the the Beidou short message communication function is a continuation from the use of Compass over.

The Beidou system applications in the future may be mostly passive positioning of the application of the Beidou system, the number of its users will not be subject to the restrictions of communication capacity, will be the 100 000 number of hundreds or thousands of times the growth. "Cao Chong said.

The face of strong competition in the market of GPS, "Compass" is a positive response.

"From the system, the need to strengthen the grasp compatible interoperability exchangeable aspects of adaptive improvement work, which is the key initiatives that can be trends in the initiative to change." Cao Chong explained.

Cao Chong believes that, in particular, should do a good job on the user's terminal compatible the work, proved the "Beidou GPS terminal performance is superior to the terminal of the" GPS ". At the same time, only the "Beidou GPS terminal price will be close to the" GPS "terminal, or even the same, can we break through market barriers to Beidou industry bigger and stronger.

, "Followed soon there will be a large number of variety of the Big Dipper and end products have been brought forth, Main products: car DVD player and car dvd , are with good quality. decorate the Beidou industry in the spring." Cao Chong said.

However, Cao Chong also pointed out that the popular application is a major issue put before the the Beidou industry interface, you may need five years or so, in order to achieve mass-market high-performance and low-cost dual demands .
