  • Global standards body 3GPP which develops protocols for mobile telephony, has approved India’s regional navigation system NaVIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation).
  • NaVIC was developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
  • IRNSS or NavIC is capable of providing accurate position information service to users across India and the region extending up to 1,500 km around the country.
  • NavIC acceptance by 3GPP would bring NavIC technology to the commercial market for its use in 4G, 5G and Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Manufacturers can now mass-produce navigation devices compatible with NaVIC so that users of these devices can easily access desi GPS or NaVIC signals.
  • 3GPP currently has global navigation satellite system support from BDS (Chinese), Galileo (European), GLONASS (Russian) & GPS (US) for cellular positioning systems.
