How to compete with the GPS market

The self-confidence come from  Beidou navigation system has several 'unique skills', will become the killer of their impact on the market. "Wu Dong said.

The 2008 earthquake, communication interruption of the hardest hit. The rescue forces to hold the terminal equipment of the "Compass" to enter, use the short message function to break the communication blind spots, and made contact with the outside world. Management center position reporting capabilities, keep track of the location of each terminal.

"'Big Dipper' biggest feature is the navigation and communications closely combined, which is the other navigation systems do not have." Wu Dong said.

He introduced the beginning of the design, the researchers on the ground-breaking as the "Big Dipper" short message function, so that users can use a similar cell phone text messages to exchange, and each message can accommodate up to 120 characters; and its location Reporting Services can support the user to the location to the information center, and then distributed to other authorized users, while addressing each other "where" and "you what" question.

Such as deserts, grasslands, and other places, the phone can not be used, these features of the 'Big Dipper' will be able to play an important role. "He said, such demand, customer base, will be one of the Beidou navigation system, the initial focus when the application development .

Beidou navigation system in the research and development, and attaches great importance to interoperability with other navigation systems compatible. Wu Dong said: want users to immediately give up the GPS and select the 'Big Dipper' It is unrealistic, so we will develop more compatible with the positioning of machine, both to receive the GPS signal, but also to receive the 'Big Dipper' signal from the user to choose . "

It is understood that the GPS and other navigation systems are only in a circular orbit a track design, and "Compass" for the first time Jina a variety of track design in a mixed track to provide more visible satellite can support longer Continuous observation time and more accurate. The expected completion of the 2020 Compass global navigation system, global positioning accuracy with GPS to compete, the positioning accuracy of the Asia-Pacific region would be even higher.

Wu Tung said: "competition in the market, we strive to reach the current level of mainstream positioning on the basis of the prominent characteristics of the 'Big Dipper', in order to win customers favor." However, he admitted, satellite navigation and positioning system of the national basic industries requires very , China and the United States and Europe are still in the relevant gap.

"An independent satellite navigation and positioning system of strategic importance to promote the application of the Beidou navigation system, government support is essential," said Qi Faren,Main products: car dvd player and car dvd , are with good quality.  the first chief designer of the Shenzhou spacecraft, a member of the CPPCC National Committee, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

It is understood that the Russian GLONASS navigation system built in 2010, the government then ordered a mandatory national sector concerned to apply this system, all in the sale of navigation terminals must be installed on top of this foundation is compatible with GPS and other systems. Russian government is also actively signed an agreement with other countries, and efforts to the push overseas.
