On July 31, 2020, the completion and opening ceremony of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system was grandly held in the Great Hall of the People. China solemnly declares to the world that China's independently built and operated global satellite navigation system has been built on multiple fronts, and China's Beidou confidently has opened a new chapter of high-quality service to the world and benefiting mankind.
As a major national space infrastructure, Beidou provides public service products. Just like electricity and wireless networks, it must realize its value through terminal services. Therefore, "integrated development and Internet of Things" has always been the basic policy of Beidou application promotion.
At present, Beidou is accelerating its entry into new infrastructure, deeply integrating with new technologies such as new generation communications, blockchain, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. New models, new business forms and new economies created by satellite navigation technology are constantly emerging. Through the Internet of Everything, "Beidou+" makes life more convenient and exciting.
According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2020, more than 70% of smartphones connected to the Internet in China have provided Beidou services; shared bicycles are equipped with Beidou terminals to achieve fine management, and herdsmen can grazle cattle and sheep through Beidou collars when sitting at home; watches, bracelets and student cards that support Beidou system are more convenient and protect people's daily lives. Through "Beidou+Pay", hundreds of stock and ticket purchase applications can be queued up correctly within 1 second and handled in order.
In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Beidou's contribution is obvious to all. Beidou plant protection drones in Beijing and Hubei are widely used in regional disinfection and epidemic prevention. A single spray area of ​​a drone can cover 5,000 square meters, and can penetrate deep into dead corners that cannot be reached by epidemic prevention vehicles. All over the country, hundreds of thousands of Beidou terminals have entered the logistics industry. Through Beidou high-quality positioning, the location information is clear at a glance. Some logistics companies also provide material transportation and distribution to some isolated communities through robots. The "Beidou+" information product formed by Beidou combined with the Internet, mobile communication network, big data, cloud computing, etc. can correctly position the movement trajectory of infected people and publish it publicly to the public, providing key data support for prevention and control in big cities, especially grassroots communities.
Wuhan Huoshenshan and Leishenshan Hospitals are under urgent need, and every second is necessary. "A building that rises from the ground with a height of 1000 feet high", high-precision fixed-point positioning is the benchmark, and fast and correct measurement is the foundation. On the evening of New Year's Eve, the staff moved when they heard the order and rushed to the construction site of Huoshenshan Hospital. Beidou's high-precision positioning equipment rushed to the rescue and confirmed that most of the construction site were put into operation and measured in one time, which bought valuable time for the hospital to quickly construct.
"Beidou application is limited only by imagination." Looking to the future, this sentence incisively outlines the infinite possibilities and broad prospects for the development of Beidou application.
Climbing is endless, dreams are inspiring, and the builders of the Beidou system will never change their pursuit of excellent character. China's Beidou, which is heading globally, has great potential and has a promising future.
