Beidou set to be used in Thailand
China’s homegrown Beidou Navigation Satellite System will be put into its first overseas operation in Thailand early next year.
The announcement was made in Bangkok on Wednesday by China’s Wuhan Information Technology Outsourcing Service and Research Center and the Geo-informatics and Space Technology Development Agency under Thailand’s Ministry of Science and Technology.
An agreement with an expected value of US$319 million inked by the two countries in March has established their commitment to cooperation on the construction of Thailand’s geospatial system, giving the country access to China’s advanced technology, products and services. The two sides have agreed to start building a model satellite station based on Beidou in an industrial estate in Thailand’s eastern Chon Buri province this month, and nationwide construction will begin early next year, according to Liu Junyi, deputy director of the Wuhan center.
It will be the first time that the Beidou lands outside China, said Liu. “The Beidou will be able to provide global service by 2015,” he added.
