Beidou communication is an emerging wireless technology and its biggest feature is its SMS service. It’s a unique invention of China’s Beidou satellite navigation system and a major advantage.
It allows users to send short messages and locations via the Beidou satellite messages even when they are in an area without network connectivity. This feature also adds navigational tools for traveling.
The company has described this technology as “pierce the sky upwards”.
The other models could not use this function through software upgrades. Although, mobile phones from other brands can get Beidou messages in the regions without cellular services.
