China Unicom GBA Data Standard Factory — Data Centre 5
Announced last observed as of · Project announcement
Georeferenced 2025 Sentinel-2 cloudless mosaic extract (113.535-113.570E, 24.895-24.925N). Used only to validate the coordinate-system interpretation of official Shaoguan site plans: built China Mobile A/B and China Telecom A5/A6 rows are visible and match plan coordinates under EPSG:4526. Not used as a status observation. evidence

- Precision scope
- Centroid of four printed Data Centre 5 corner coordinates on the adjusted site plan (irregular outline; 4,146 m2 computed vs 4,632.82 m2 stated base area). Locates the proposed DC5 building in the campus's central reserved land, not existing campus buildings, a surveyed boundary or construction extent.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
The plans state no datum or survey accuracy; the CGCS2000 zone-38 interpretation is checked only against 10 m Sentinel-2 imagery (registration within roughly 10 m for built controls). Absolute accuracy is not established; decimal places are arithmetic precision.
- Geometry evidence

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
