On April 26, the 13th China Satellite Navigation Annual Conference opened in Beijing. The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned from the conference that the Beidou system has achieved the main position in China, achieved large-scale application in many industries and fields, and has become an important scientific and technological force to empower economic and social development. By the end of 2021, the total social ownership of terminal products with Beidou positioning function exceeded 1.2 billion units/sets, and last year, the total number of newly connected smartphones supporting Beidou in China totaled 260 million, accounting for 98.5%. By 2035, the mainland will build a national integrated spatial-temporal system with the next-generation Beidou system as the core.
The annual meeting was held in Beijing for the third time
More than 20 new products and solutions will be released
This annual meeting is the third time held in Beijing after 2010 and 2019, in the past few years, Beijing has successfully built Beidou navigation and location service industry public services, spatiotemporal information quality infrastructure one-stop service, Beidou spatiotemporal information innovation and entrepreneurship services and other important platforms, and various achievements will also be specially displayed in the achievement expo.
With the theme of "Digital Economy and Intelligent Navigation", this year's annual conference aims to explore the interdependent relationship between digital economy, intelligence and navigation, highlight the important spatial-temporal information guarantee provided by the BeiDou system for digital economic and social development, and drive the BeiDou system to play a greater and more important role in national economic construction and social development. The annual meeting set up six major activities, including the opening ceremony, summit forum, academic exchange, high-end forum, achievement expo, and science popularization, attracting more than 4,000 top experts, scholars, industry leaders and outstanding talents from the field of satellite navigation at home and abroad.
During the annual meeting, representatives of China, the United States, Russia, the European Union, Japan and other satellite navigation system authorities and the United Nations Outer Space Division introduced the latest progress of their satellite navigation system construction and the work of the United Nations in the field of satellite navigation. Well-known experts and scholars in satellite navigation and related fields at home and abroad will comprehensively explore the innovative integration prospects and great potential of digital economy and satellite navigation around the two directions of "science and technology" and "application and industrialization".
The Certification Supervision and Administration Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation and the China Satellite Navigation System Administration Office held the BeiDou Basic Product Certification Award Ceremony, and the first batch of 14 certified enterprises were awarded the BeiDou Basic Product Certification Certificate, marking the implementation of the BeiDou Basic Product Certification and Testing System, and creating a market environment and public opinion atmosphere conducive to the high-quality development of BeiDou Basic Products.
The 13th China Satellite Navigation Achievement Expo held at the same time as the annual meeting, nearly 18,000 square meters of exhibition space fully displayed the latest application progress of mainland independent satellite navigation system, more than 20 new products, new solutions will be released here, and held a series of book release ceremonies, "Satellite Navigation Engineering Technology Series" and other books were unveiled, a large number of Beidou application interactive experience, making China Beidou more intuitive, three-dimensional, within reach.
In addition, this year's annual meeting also released the technical problems of satellite navigation and PNT system for the first time, in order to guide all parties to gather technical talents to innovate and develop Beidou.
The Beidou system has achieved the main position in China
The total number of terminal products exceeded 1.2 billion units
The Beidou News reporter learned that the Beidou system currently has a total of 45 satellites in orbit, including 15 Beidou-2 satellites and 30 Beidou-3 satellites, all of which are connected to the network to provide services, good health and stable operation in orbit.
According to reports, Beidou system has achieved the main position in China, achieved large-scale application in many industries and fields, and has become an important scientific and technological force to empower economic and social development, and Beidou chips, modules, antennas and other series of basic products have achieved a scale of 100 million mass production. By the end of 2021, the total social ownership of terminal products with Beidou positioning function exceeded 1.2 billion units/sets.
Specifically, in the field of transportation, more than 7.9 million road operating vehicles, more than 47,000 ships, and more than 40,000 postal express trunk line vehicles have applied the Beidou system. In the agricultural field, more than 100,000 agricultural machines have been installed in the country with Beidou automatic driving system. In the field of water conservancy, Beidou system applied short message communication service hydrological monitoring in 2,587 reservoirs.
In terms of mass applications, the number of shared bicycles equipped with domestic Beidou high-precision positioning chips has exceeded 5 million, covering more than 450 cities across the country; Based on Beidou's high-precision lane-level navigation function, it has been successfully piloted in 8 cities and gradually popularized to the whole country; The map software has called Beidou satellites more than 300 billion times a day; Mobile phones supporting Beidou-3 short message communication service have been officially put on sale.
In particular, at present, Huawei, Apple, vivo, OPPO and other domestic and foreign mainstream smartphone manufacturers support Beidou. In 2022, a total of 260 million new smartphones supporting Beidou will be shipped in China, accounting for 98.5%.
Not only in China, Beidou basic products have been applied in more than half of the world's countries and regions, the models are richer, the field is constantly expanding, Beidou products, technologies and services, more international users recognize.
Relevant regulations are coming soon
In 2035, the next generation of national integrated spatial-temporal system will be built
Experts attending the meeting revealed that the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Satellite Navigation" will be promulgated soon, which will standardize and strengthen the management of satellite navigation activities, improve the supporting systems such as satellite navigation system construction, operation services, application management, international cooperation, and security guarantees, and continuously improve the legal system of satellite navigation.
The Beiqing News reporter learned from the annual meeting that the mainland is actively developing a variety of navigation and positioning timing technologies, and will build a national comprehensive spatiotemporal system with the next generation of Beidou system as the core, which is more ubiquitous, more integrated and more intelligent, providing unified benchmarks, seamless coverage, safe and credible, convenient and efficient positioning and navigation timing services, and providing core support for future intelligent and unmanned development. It is estimated that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the overall output value of mainland satellite navigation and location services will double, breaking through the trillion mark, quadrupling its global market share, and Beidou's industrialization will move towards a wider range, higher level and higher level.
