China's Beidou Navigation Satellite System played an invisible but important role in the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, according to the China Satellite Navigation Office FREMONT, CA : The China Satellite Navigation Office remarked in a statement that a Beidou-enabled training suit developed by researchers from the Capital University of Physical Education and Sports in partnership with several other research institutes had benefited Chinese athletes and trainers. By employing the high-precision positioning information of the system, the suit proved useful for coaches to monitor and record data regarding location, route, speed and acceleration. Coaches can change training plans based on the data, while athletes can enhance tactics or movements, according to the release, which also stated that the suit can warn athletes when they are approaching safety concerns. During Olympic training, participants in sports like alpine skiing and cross-country skiing made use of  it. A fleet of driverless vehicles was examined during the Games at the Shougang Big Air venue in Beijing. The self-driving cars, which combine artificial intelligence, 5G, and Beidou technology, were utilised to transport passengers and cargo, sell and deliver goods, and patrol for security. According to the office, the trucks were able to reach users and destinations quickly and accurately thanks to Beidou's satellite navigation and positioning service, saving manpower and time. Along with the United States GPS, Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo systems, Beidou is currently China's largest civilian satellite system and one of four global navigation networks. Since 2000, 44 Long March 3-series rockets have launched 59 Beidou satellites into orbit, including four first experimental units, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province. In December 2012, Beidou began providing civilian users in China and other areas of the Asia-Pacific region with positioning, navigation, timing, and messaging services. It began providing basic services globally towards the end of 2018. The final satellite in Beidou's third-generation network was launched into geostationary orbit about 36,000 kilometres above the Earth in June 2020, using a Long March 3B rocket. ...Read more

The new collaboration enhances sustainability and connects the popular Metaverse with real-world travel and logistics .  Airlines would have to leverage cutting-edge technology smartly as the 'consumerization' wave transforms several service industries, including media, transportation, and retail. They'll have to experiment aggressively with diverse use cases to solve pressing passenger pain points, then apply what they learn to improve their strategy. Next Earth, the unicorn and sustainability Metaverse, collaborated with Iomob, a pioneering blockchain business working on a decentralized protocol for the world's first-ever Mobility Marketplace Network and token. Limitless, the Metaverse integrator and go-to full-stack solution for known brands and startups will facilitate the integration of Iomob and Next Earth. Check Out This:  Top Retail POS Solutions Companies Check Out This : Transportation Review The strategic alliance, which includes Vueling Airlines, will work together to create tools and services that will allow "Next Earthians" to plan real-world travels, measure carbon emissions, and book "carbon positive" transportation via the Metaverse and Iomob's companion app. "Next Earth and Iomob are simply the perfect match and use case," says Gabor Retfalvi, CEO of Next Earth. "Developing methods to visualize and experience sustainable travel within Next Earth fundamentally aligns with the natural evolution that underpins our environment and represents a wonderful next step for our company." The collaboration of Next Earth, Iomob, and Vueling Airlines – the first airline to allow bookings through the Metaverse – brings together three distinct organizations with the potential to dramatically affect environmental concerns. Iomob is a "real world" transportation startup that lets customers plan A-to-B travels while also allowing them to book cabs, scooters, and other services. Vueling Airlines will make real-time flight bookings available in Next Earth using QR codes and an associated mobile app. With its one-to-one replica of the Earth, Next Earth quickly becomes the epicenter of the Metaversal Industrial Revolution. Meanwhile, True Global Ventures, A100x, and Creas have announced investments in Iomob. In collaboration with Vueling Airlines, this new business makes intermodal mobility more accessible by using 7,000 taxi fleets, micro-mobility in 270+ cities, thousands of parking spaces, and 480+ public transportation feed.   ...Read more
