Sun Jiadong, the "Father of Beidou": "Beidou" can only be used well in China to go abroad
创始人2018-05-04
The Smart Beidou Precision Application Summit was held yesterday * * in Beijing. Sun Jiadong, an academician of the CAS Member, a veteran of the "two bombs and one star" and the first chief designer of the Beidou navigation project, introduced at the conference that the experience of Beidou's application in gas and other industries is worth promoting. Only when it is used well in China can it go abroad.It is reported that Beidou is a global satellite navigation and positioning system independently developed by China, which can provide time, location, and short message services. The National Beidou Precision Service Network is a model of "good use in the sky and good use on the ground". Beijing Gas Group, praised by Sun Jiadong, relied on the National Beidou Precision Service Network to first apply Beidou in the gas industry, and the city's active detection rate of gas leaks increased from 70% to 90%.Sun Jiadong also gave an example of insufficient application. Beijing has rapidly seen the emergence of various colors of shared bicycles. We have investigated some shared bicycle companies and found that some of them use Beidou and some use GPS for their positioning functions. As an emerging industry in China, those of us who use Beidou applications should reflect on this. There are indeed areas where our work is not up to par, "said Sun Jiadong.Sun Jiadong reflected on two reasons for not using "Beidou". Firstly, users are not very familiar with the current situation of Beidou and are not clear about what kind of technical support Beidou can provide; Secondly, some users still believe that "Beidou" will have a military background, which will have an impact on their expansion into international markets. This may be due to inadequate basic work or inadequate publicity work, "said Sun Jiadong."Beidou will definitely go global and provide global services." Sun Jiadong said that according to the plan, "Beidou" will provide global services and will take the lead in covering the "the Belt and Road" countries in 2018. He believes that it is most important for the country to demonstrate how to attract global users. For applications such as gas, they can be directly borrowed and used.
