Regional Satellite Navigation

Regional Satellite Navigation refers to satellite systems that provide location, timing, and navigation services over a specific geographic area, rather than globally. These systems use a network of satellites orbiting within the region to transmit signals to users’ devices, enabling accurate positioning for applications like transportation, agriculture, and emergency services. Examples include China's BeiDou in Asia and Japan's QZSS in the Pacific. By focusing on a region, these systems can offer improved accuracy, faster signal access, and specialized services tailored to local needs, complementing global navigation systems like GPS.
