What Qianxun Spatial Intelligence does

Qianxun Spatial Intelligence (千寻位置) is a Chinese high-precision positioning infrastructure and spatiotemporal intelligence company headquartered in Shanghai. Founded in 2014, the company built and operates one of the world's largest commercial Beidou/GNSS ground-based augmentation networks with more than 10,000 reference stations, delivering centimeter- to millimeter-level positioning services across 33 provincial-level regions in China and over 230 countries globally. Its core service portfolio includes FindCM (centimeter-level subscription, ~400 yuan/month), FindM Pro (sub-meter subscription, 50 yuan/month), FindMM (millimeter-level monitoring), FindCMX (satellite-ground fusion), and XStar (satellite-based augmentation) — collectively handling over 1.2 trillion API calls per month and serving a cumulative 23 billion+ smart terminals.

The company's technology stack spans the full positioning value chain: self-developed dual-frequency Buguang (步光) positioning chips and AEC-Q100-certified modules, RTK receivers (A100, K10, L50 laser RTK, V3mini), unmanned survey boats and LiDAR scanners, Spatix robot spatial intelligence development kits, and a digital twin platform stack (Chiguan, Lunjie, Shiyu, Shujing, Haojing). Revenue is generated through subscription CORS services, hardware sales via direct channels (Tmall flagship store, mall.qxwz.com) and distributor networks, and customized industry solutions spanning intelligent driving (SAIC Group L4 autonomous trucks), digital government (Chongqing deployment of 2,314 BeiDou terminals), smart water conservancy, smart mining, smart ports, smart grid (Inner Mongolia Power Group, National Energy Group), digital agriculture, low-altitude economy, and surveying/mapping. Qianxun monetizes across nine industry solution verticals and maintains 780+ patent applications (>90% invention patents), positioning itself as the dominant Chinese domestic provider of high-precision positioning services tied to the national Beidou ecosystem.

As of 2024-2026, the company completed three funding rounds totaling approximately 3 billion yuan (including $137M Series B in April 2025 and ~2 billion yuan dual-round in February 2026) and reached unicorn status with valuation exceeding 10 billion yuan; earlier 2024 rounds had valued the company above 16 billion yuan. Notable shareholders include Yunfeng Capital, Hundun Investment, HSG China, Shunwei Capital, Prosperity7 (Saudi Aramco), and state-owned capital vehicles from Chongqing and Hangzhou.
