The debut of a new generation of domestic Beidou high-precision positioning chips will strongly support the development of the Beidou navigation industry

CCTV News:The latest generation of domestic Beidou high-precision positioning chip was recently unveiled in Beijing. The 22nm chip is expected to be officially released by the end of this year and mass-produced in the first half of 2021. It will be applied to high-precision positioning needs such as autonomous driving, drones, and robots.

The positioning chip is equivalent to the "brain" of the navigation device. Every navigation device needs to rely on this "brain" for calculation and processing to achieve positioning, so the positioning chip is also the core component of satellite navigation products.

In addition to supporting Beidou navigation, the chip can also support receiving navigation signals from multiple systems such as GPS in the United States, GLONASS in Russia, and Galileo in the European Union. By being compatible with different signal systems, the new generation of Beidou positioning chips can obtain richer data information and provide more accurate positioning and navigation services.

This 22-nanometer chip is not only smaller in size and requires less energy, but also has more powerful processing capabilities.

According to reports, this chip can be widely used in high-precision navigation and positioning fields such as surveying and mapping, drones, autonomous driving, and deformation monitoring, laying a technical foundation for Beidou high-precision applications.

It will effectively support the development of the Beidou navigation industry

All kinds of navigation and positioning end points involved in our daily production and life must be calculated through the positioning chip.The debut of the new generation of domestic Beidou high-precision positioning chip will provide strong support for the development of our country’s Beidou navigation industry.

At present, most of the international mainstream satellite navigation chips still use 40-nanometer process, while our country’s Beidou navigation 28-nanometer process chips have been mass-produced. The launch of a new generation of 22-nanometer process chips will play an important supporting role in enhancing the international competitiveness of Beidou navigation end point products.

The new generation of positioning chips are highly competitive in terms of size, power consumption, performance, cost, etc. In the future, more end point devices can achieve more accurate positioning capabilities, and security is also constantly improving.　

At present, our country’s navigation and positioning service industry is in a stage of rapid development. In 2019, the overall output value of our country’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry reached nearly 345 billion yuan, an increase of 14.4% over 2018. With our country’s innovative breakthroughs in core technologies such as navigation and positioning chips, it will further promote Beidou and location-based service applications to accelerate into people’s production and life.
