Chinese tech major Xiaomi on Tuesday said it will bring ISRO's Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, NavIC technology to its smartphones.

The capability has been currently enabled by Qualcomm Technologies Inc on several of their Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile Platforms and will be made available across multiple Xiaomi smartphones in India, a statement said.

NavIC – Navigation with Indian Constellation – is the regional geo-positioning system designed in India by ISRO to provide accurate positioning in India and around the Indian mainland.

"In 2020, several Xiaomi smartphones across multiple price points will support NavIC, initially supported by some Snapdragon chipsets," the statement said.

We also thank our partner Qualcomm Technologies for enabling support in their chipsets as we bring it first to the Redmi smartphone this year," Manu Jain, Global Vice President, Xiaomi and Managing Director, Xiaomi India said. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1582693205.489931/Xiaomi-to-bring-ISRO's-NavIC-technology-to-its-smartphones?ref=audio_experience
