NavIC provides coverage beyond India, extending up to 1,500

kilometers in all directions. This wide reach benefits both India

and neighboring countries, promoting regional cooperation

and enabling cross-border applications. NavIC is designed to
improve location-based services and supports various

sectors, including transportation, agriculture, disaster

management, and defense.

One of NavIC's most remarkable features is its compatibility

with other global navigation satellite systems like GPS (United

States), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (Europe), and BeiDou

(China). This multi-constellation compatibility is a game-

changer. Users can simultaneously receive signals from NavIC

and other global systems, leading to improved accuracy,

availability, and reliability of navigation services. This
interoperability ensures that NavIC remains an invaluable

asset, even in areas with challenging terrain or limited

satellite visibility.

NavIC is India's regional navigation satellite system, reducing

reliance on foreign systems, fostering innovation, and

enhancing national security and economic growth. Its ongoing

development promises precise and reliable location services,

symbolizing India's progress in navigation technology for a
brighter future.
