Network helps supply water to livestock in remote areas of Inner Mongolia

HOHHOT - A water supply system base on the Beidou Navigation Satellite System for livestock in remote areas has been tested in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, local researchers confirmed on Sunday.

The trial of the new system was launched in the Kubuqi desert.

"The system can provide water for livestock after receiving a short message sent by users through the Beidou system," said Chulu, who is in charge of research and development for the system. "Using the Beidou system, users can not only send short messages, but also know their own exact position, even in situations where no communication networks are available, such as in an ocean, desert or other wilderness."
