On May 19, China Mobile and Baidu held a press conference on the "5G + Beidou + V2X" intelligent transportation joint innovation plan in Beijing, launching the country’s largest 5G + Beidou high-precision positioning lane-level navigation application, which is the first time in the industry to upgrade the mobile phone lane-level navigation technology architecture for the country and the largest user scale. Chen Guancang, deputy director of China Satellite Navigation System Management Office, Zhao Dachun, deputy general manager of China Mobile, and Li Zhenyu, senior vice president of Baidu Group, attended the press conference.
Based on the cooperation between the two parties, China Mobile’s Beidou high-precision positioning capability fully supports Baidu Maps’ online lane-level navigation function, restores the lane where the vehicle is in the normal driving process through high-precision positioning, and accurately provides navigation information such as turning and lane changing. At present, this function has covered high-speed expressways and some urban roads across the country. In the future, it will be applied to all mainstream mobile phones, supporting millions of ultra-high concurrency, tens of millions of massive access, 100 million user services, and 100 billion location service calls.
Up to now, China Mobile has built the world’s largest 5G network and Beidou high-precision positioning network, deployed over 1.55 million 5G base stations, served nearly 700 million 5G package users, and achieved continuous coverage of urban areas, counties and townships across the country; 4400 Beidou ground-based enhancement stations can provide high-precision positioning of OurHours global vehicles with complex scenarios such as tunnels. After more than 300 cities in 31 provinces across the country over 1.70 million kilometers of actual measurement and verification, centimeter-level positioning accuracy standards can be achieved, reaching the industry’s leading level.
