Asian satellite navigation systems

Asian satellite navigation systems are space-based technologies that provide geolocation services. Notable examples include China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, India’s Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), and Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). These systems use satellites orbiting the Earth to determine precise locations on the ground, aiding in navigation for vehicles, aircraft, and smartphones. They enhance accuracy and reliability for users in Asia, particularly in urban areas and remote regions, contributing to sectors like transportation, agriculture, disaster management, and personal navigation. These systems complement the well-known GPS from the United States and enhance global navigation capabilities.
