Unistrong penned a strategic cooperation agreement with Qinghai's provincial big data bureau to build a regional service center regarding the BeiDou navigation satellite system, the Beijing-based firm said in a statement yesterday. The center needs to pass a review of China's military and Qinghai's provincial government.
