  • Qualcomm Technologies has unveiled mobile chipsets supporting the Indian regional satellite navigation system – NavIC (Navigation in Indian Constellation).

About

  • It is an independent regional navigation satellite system designed to provide position information in the Indian region and 1500 km around the Indian mainland.
  • Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) would provide two types of services, namely Standard Positioning Services available to all users and Restricted Services provided to authorized users.
  • It is a regional system and so its constellation will consist of seven satellites.
  • Three of these will be geostationary over the Indian Ocean, i.e., they will appear to be stationary in the sky over the region, and four will be geosynchronous – appearing at the same point in the sky at the same time every day.
