Preferred term

Beidou (China's Satellite Navigation System)  

Definition

  • The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System will provide global coverage with positioning, navigation and timing services, including two kinds of service modes: an open service and an authorized service. The open service is provided free of charge location, velocity and timing, with positioning accuracy of 10 meters, velocity accuracy of 0.2 meters / second and timing accuracy of 10 nanoseconds. The authorized service provides a more secure position, velocity, timing, and communications services as well as a higher level of integrity. In order to make BeiDou Navigation Satellite System work better for global service, strengthen compatibility and interoperability between BeiDou and other countries’satellite navigation systems,and promote satellite positioning, navigation and timing service application, China is willing to cooperate with other countries in developing satellite navigation industry.
