Compass/Beidou Satellite System Testing
China's Global Navigation Satellite System, Compass, will provide both commercial and military navigation services utilizing 30 MEO satellites and five GEO satellites.
Until Compass becomes a fully operational GNSS in 2012, China is expected to utilize its existing "Beidou" GEOs to provide positioning services to China and its neighboring countries.
Spirent's architecture is capable of supporting the Compass signals and Spirent intends to have a Compass simulator when further information is available on the system.
