【#Tech24H】The number of China’s satellite navigation reference stations has expanded to 7,569, greatly promoting the large-scale application of BeiDou. These stations include 420 national stations, 3,293 provincial stations, and 3,856 collaborative stations, together forming a nationwide “single network” for satellite navigation and positioning. They also establish a collaborative operation and maintenance system for BeiDou application and reference service centers, providing high-precision spatiotemporal support for territorial spatial planning, ecological conservation and restoration, forest and grassland monitoring, natural disaster early warning, energy and communications, engineering construction, and urban management.
