Beidou satellite navigation has always been a lofty existence in people's eyes, and no one has ever thought that one day Beidou will be able to go to the public, but it has come quietly. Recently, the China Satellite Navigation System Management Office announced that after four years of research and development and multi-party evaluation, the Beidou RNSS baseband RF integrated chip project has been completed, truly realizing the independent control of domestic Beidou chip modules. This means that in the future, we will see more and more navigation antennas, RF, baseband chips and other products entering the consumer electronics field such as mobile phones, tablets, and wearable devices in the civilian market.
We have also reported before that the "Beidou Network" is gradually being rolled out and its application is in a blowout stage. For example, the following Beidou watch designed for the elderly supports calls, and the mobile phone can obtain real-time information such as the elderly's location, step count, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. If the elderly suddenly fall, the mobile phone can also immediately alarm. According to reports, there are many similar "down-to-earth" Beidou products, such as Beidou student positioning cards with SOS rescue, time reporting, and WeChat chat functions, correction watches for managing personnel outside the prison, and Beidou smart terminals that send short messages during earthquake relief and outdoor survival.
"Beidou is everywhere, and more than 90% of its applications are related to 'when' and 'where'," said Chen Fuzhou, director of the Jiangsu Beidou Satellite Application Industry Research Institute. At present, Beidou applications have penetrated into transportation and logistics, education and health, public security law enforcement, agriculture and agricultural machinery, and mass civilian fields. In particular, for the GPS system, which has long monopolized more than 95% of China's navigation market, the cost of China's Beidou chips and terminals has dropped sharply and is comparable to GPS. Taxis in some Chinese cities have begun to use the Beidou navigation system.
