A satellite exposition opened on Thursday in Beijing, displaying more than 6,000 new products and academic achievements.

The three-day exposition, Satellite Application China 2015, will attract nearly a hundred specialists, scholars and entrepreneurs from the aerospace and satellite application industry.

Products to be exhibited include a test communication satellite co-designed by private companies and universities, personal outdoor terminals supported by BeiDou navigation and a new domestic-made satellite communication system.

Ran Chengqi, director of the China Satellite Navigation Office, said BeiDou navigation has already been applied in the regional network.

BeiDou services are expected to cover most countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road by 2018, and offer global coverage by 2020, Ran added.
