"I hereby declare to you all that the construction of the BDS-3 primary system has been completed, and it will provide global service from today. BDS is exclusively developed by China with independent operation. It is a global navigation satellite system that is compatible with other satellite navigation systems in the world. [The project of BDS] was launched in the 1990s, following a 'three-step' strategy to carry out construction of the BDS-1, BDS-2, and BDS-3."

"First, we have had group networks with a high density to provide global service. [And we] have launched 19 satellites with 10 rockets in a single year, setting new records in satellite navigation system construction across the world and in space launch of a same [rocket] model in China. Second, we have had operations with high reliability to ensure stable service. [We] set off backup satellites, refined orbit control, as the service performance has been steadily improved. Third, we have forged new highlights of international cooperation with high standards, as we successfully hosted the 13th Meeting of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG)."

"Fourth, we have seen new breakthroughs in applications with the help of high precision. The sales of basic products of BeiDou's chips and modules have exceeded 70 million pieces. The BeiDou high-precision products have been exported to over 90 countries and regions around the world, while a series of the BeiDou foundation enhancement technology and products have been exported overseas."

China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) started providing global navigation service, said BDS Spokesperson Ran Chengqi on Thursday.
Ran, also director of the China Satellite Navigation Office, made the announcement during a press conference of the State Council Information Office.
"I hereby declare to you all that the construction of the BDS-3 primary system has been completed, and it will provide global service from today," Ran said.
"BDS is exclusively developed by China with independent operation. It is a global navigation satellite system that is compatible with other satellite navigation systems in the world. [The project of BDS] was launched in the 1990s, following a 'three-step' strategy to carry out construction of the BDS-1, BDS-2, and BDS-3," he said.
The director noted that on the same day in 2012, the BDS started its service in the Asia-Pacific region, and that six years later, the BDS has ushered in a new era of starting global service.
Ran also said that 2018 is an extraordinary year for the development of the BeiDou system.
"First, we have had group networks with a high density to provide global service. [And we] have launched 19 satellites with 10 rockets in a single year, setting new records in satellite navigation system construction across the world and in space launch of a same [rocket] model in China. Second, we have had operations with high reliability to ensure stable service. [We] set off backup satellites, refined orbit control, as the service performance has been steadily improved. Third, we have forged new highlights of international cooperation with high standards, as we successfully hosted the 13th Meeting of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG)," added Ran.
Ran said that Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the meeting.
China and Russia have signed an intergovernmental agreement on satellite navigation cooperation. China has also completed the construction of the first overseas center for the BDS/GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), according to Ran.
Fourth, Ran said, "We have seen new breakthroughs in applications with the help of high precision. The sales of basic products of BeiDou's chips and modules have exceeded 70 million pieces. The BeiDou high-precision products have been exported to over 90 countries and regions around the world, while a series of the BeiDou foundation enhancement technology and products have been exported overseas."
Named after the Chinese term for the Big Dipper, the BeiDou system started serving China in 2000 and the Asia-Pacific region in 2012. It will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after the U.S. GPS system, Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo.
