China promoted the development of its own positioning network in 2000 to stop relying on the US-controlled Global Positioning System (GPS).
Earlier reports said China would provide services worldwide by 2020.
The North Dau positioning system currently provides services to China and 'surrounding areas' , according to Xinhua.
Beijing will launch six more satellites in 2012 to expand its reach to most of the Asia-Pacific region.
The first North Dau satellite was launched in April 2007 after four experimental satellites were put into orbit earlier.
It is not clear how many of these satellites have been launched so far, according to AFP.
Once completed, Bac Dau system will have 35 satellites developed by Chinese technology and will provide services for mapping, transport, meteorology and telecommunications activities.
