A press conference was held today to announce the commencement of operations for the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System

The Beidou satellite navigation system is a global satellite navigation system independently developed by China, which not only provides worldwide positioning, navigation and timing services, but also has a unique short message communication function, which is not available in other global navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo.

It also has a unique short message communication function, which is not available in other GNSS such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. BeiDou's short message communication service enables users to send and receive information through BeiDou terminals without mobile communication networks, which is particularly important for areas such as the sea and remote mountainous regions.

The space signal interface control document (ICD) of BeiDou system is an important document to guide terminal manufacturers to develop receiving equipment, which specifies the signal structure, signal characteristics, ranging code characteristics, navigation messages and other technical details of BeiDou satellite navigation system.
The ICD is an important document that guides terminal manufacturers in the development of receiving devices. This information is essential to ensure that BeiDou terminal equipment produced by different manufacturers can correctly receive and process BeiDou satellite signals.

The organisation and management of the BeiDou system is shared by a number of departments, including the China Satellite Navigation Office (CSNO) and the National Bureau of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Applications (NBGSA), which work together to promote the construction and application of the BeiDou system
The construction and operation of the BeiDou system has not only enhanced China's influence in the field of global satellite navigation, but also provided more choices and better services for global users.

Beidou satellite navigation system has a wide range of applications, and it plays an important role in many fields such as transport, agriculture, forestry, fishery, public security, disaster prevention and mitigation
With the advancement of technology and the deepening of applications, the Beidou system will continue to contribute to the promotion of economic and social development and the improvement of people's lives.
