Beijing BDStar Navigation Co., Ltd.

What Beijing BDStar Navigation Co., Ltd. does

Beijing BDStar Navigation Co., Ltd. (北斗星通, Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 002151) is a publicly listed Chinese company that manufactures satellite navigation and positioning core components. The product portfolio covers the full vertical from chips and modules to antennas and complete navigation positioning products, supplemented by microwave ceramic components used in signal processing. The company organizes its activities around two stated business directions: the Intelligent Location Digital Base (iLDB®) platform and microwave ceramic devices.

The core technology stack is built around Beidou (China's GNSS constellation) compatibility, proprietary high-precision positioning algorithms, and microwave ceramic device manufacturing. The company provides centimeter-level high-precision positioning solutions as well as cloud-based assisted positioning services — a hybrid model combining hardware sales with recurring algorithm/augmentation services. It also claims participation in national Beidou antenna standards development through its subsidiaries, most recently with a standard publication on 2026-07-02.

Commercially, BDStar operates a hybrid B2B/B2C motion. It sells core components (chips, modules, antennas) to consumer electronics OEMs — demonstrated by a named design win in the Xiaotiancai (小天才) Z9A children's smartwatch through its subsidiary Xinyu (芯与) using a "cloud-chip integration" solution — and provides high-precision positioning services to industrial, surveying, construction, and emerging autonomous-vehicle applications. The company also pursues international visibility through exhibitions such as CSPI-EXPO 2026 in Japan.
