The first base station with a ground-based augmentation system was completed in Urumqi, the capital of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The station, built by the State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co Ltd, will offer high-precision positioning timing and emergency communication for the electricity industry. It's augmentation system can increase positioning precision to centimeter-level dynamically and millimeter-level statically.
The construction of the base station in Xinjiang is part of the project launched by the State Grid, which aims to build 1,200 Beidou base stations to provide high-precision positioning, timing, and emergency communication services for the electricity industry.
