This summit has three major exhibition areas and more than 20 exhibition items, comprehensively displaying the capability layout and industry practice results in the fields of Beidou applications, artificial intelligence, and cloud network integration. "The Beidou system continues to produce massive amounts of high-precision spatio-temporal data. To be transformed into intelligent applications in the fields of low-altitude economy, smart transportation, etc., it is also inseparable from computing power processing and model training." A relevant person in charge of China Telecom Hunan Company said that the company relied on the Central and South Intelligent Computing Power Center to build a "2+12+X" echelon computing power network, becoming a local computing power hub supporting spatio-temporal intelligence, large model training and industry reasoning in the central region.
In the industry application exhibition area, China Telecom's Beidou applications have moved from "capability demonstration" to the "scenario-deep development" stage: for example, in the field of urban governance, the Zhuzhou Beidou smart sanitation platform connects vehicles, personnel, and facilities to achieve real-time dispatch, violation alarms, trajectory comparison, and electronic fence control; the smart traffic management platform has more than 30 types of abnormal warnings and can complete all-element traceability of accidents within 90 seconds; 5G+Beidou indoor and outdoor high-precision positioning enables seamless switching between outdoor centimeter level and indoor meter level.
In the low-altitude economic exhibition area, the Ark series of small and medium-sized logistics drones attracted much attention. Relying on Beidou to complete high-definition positioning, Ark 40 can carry a load of more than 10 kilograms. It has been implemented in medical distribution scenarios and can shuttle between hospitals to transport emergency supplies such as emergency medicines and test samples. Li Jiayi, the person in charge of the first phase of the Zhuzhou Gas City Lifeline Project of the 48th Institute of China Electronics Technology, introduced the exhibits to the guests in the gas safety exhibition area. Various monitoring terminals and high-precision inspection vehicles displayed on site are all equipped with Beidou technology.
"Pipeline network point monitoring equipment integrates Beidou positioning and timing, and the positioning accuracy can reach 10 centimeters." Li Jiayi said that once combustible gas leaks or pressure abnormalities occur at pipeline network nodes and pressure regulating equipment, alarm information will be uploaded to the platform in real time, and the fault point will be accurately marked on the electronic map to help inspection personnel handle targeted measures.
Beidou is one of the four major global satellite navigation systems recognized by the United Nations. Related products are exported to more than 140 countries and regions, with a market share of 58% in countries co-building the “Belt and Road”.
Madagascar Prime Minister Rajonarison Mamitiana said at the opening ceremony that Beidou can assist the development of Madagascar in strategic areas such as infrastructure, transportation, land surveying and mapping, agriculture, natural resource management, and disaster prevention and reduction, and improve the country's public security capabilities. "Simply introducing technology is not enough. The core lies in the implementation and transformation of technology. This is also the goal that Malaysia hopes to achieve in cooperation with China." Rajonarison Mamitiana looks forward to developing practical application solutions around Beidou that adapt to the local development of Africa and Madagascar.
According to official data, last year, the overall output value of China's Beidou space-time industry exceeded 600 billion yuan, reaching 629 billion yuan; Hunan's Beidou industry achieved an output value of 78.2 billion yuan, accounting for about 12% of the country, a year-on-year increase of 28.2%, and related products and services cover 24 countries and regions around the world. China will further improve the level of Beidou technological innovation, continue to promote the development of Beidou industry, accelerate the improvement and expansion of Beidou applications, and enable the Beidou system to better serve the world and benefit mankind.
Up to now, with the joint efforts of all parties, the performance and service quality of the Beidou system have continued to improve, the application scenarios and application scale have continued to expand, and international cooperation and exchanges have become more extensive, providing stable and reliable positioning, navigation and timing services to users around the world.
Reporters learned at the summit that China will continue to deepen its application and enable Beidou to be more widely empowered. It will strengthen the integration of Beidou with artificial intelligence, 6G, satellite Internet and other technologies to support the development of emerging industries such as low-altitude economy, commercial aerospace, and intelligent robots. At the same time, it will strive to promote the large-scale application of Beidou in transportation, disaster prevention and relief, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and mass consumption, so as to better empower thousands of industries and benefit thousands of households.
From China to the world, from now to the future, Beidou's market radiation continues to increase, its industrial support continues to consolidate, and its international influence becomes increasingly far-reaching.
As one of the important origins of Beidou core technology, Hunan has in recent years taken the construction of Beidou large-scale application leading areas as a landmark project to continue to build an important national advanced manufacturing highland, focusing on technological research, industrial cultivation, platform construction, scene opening, international cooperation and other continuous efforts. At present, a total of 1.455 million Beidou terminals have been promoted across the province.
