CentiSpace-1 S12, part of the same 2023 ten-satellite deployment, contributing correction signal density to a low-orbit constellation designed specifically to complement rather than compete with BeiDou — an augmentation layer, not a replacement navigation system. That distinction matters commercially: CentiSpace doesn't need to convince anyone to abandon BeiDou or GPS, just to add its correction signal on top of hardware they already own.
