They are intended to support various applications, including high-precision positioning, logistics, maritime monitoring, remote sensing, and satellite communication services.
The platform's goal is to improve urban traffic management efficiency and support highly autonomous driving by enabling AI decision-making through connected infrastructure and vehicles.
[7] The first phase will include 72 satellites, expected to be fully deployed by 2025, to enable global real-time data communication services.
An additional 168 satellites are scheduled for launch in the second phase to provide centimeter-level, high-precision positioning services for autonomous driving, smart connectivity, and consumer electronics sectors.
The company's satellites are expected to be used by Geely's automotive partners, such as its premium electric vehicle brand, Zeekr, to enhance their autonomous driving capabilities.
