Herdsmen use the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) for grazing

The Tibet Xingchuan Satellite Navigation Platform Co., Ltd. was unveiled in Lhasa recently, and the China Beidou Navigation Integrated Application Platform was officially launched in Tibet.

Herdsmen can use Beidou's navigation for positioning and location functions in order to accurately know their herds' exact position in time by fitting their livestock with microchip collars. They can also use Beidou's message function to report incidents or emergencies to the authorities. This intelligent way of grazing saves costs and increases revenues.
