Symposium

Global Navigation Satellite System
Previous | Next

The performances of the GNSS systems, their space and ground segments, and the user equipments are steadily improving to fulfill the need for information on location everywhere, including outdoor and indoor areas. Associated with mobile communication terminals, the new navigation systems offer the opportunity to design an infinite number of new services. Day-long symposium on Global Navigation Satellite System is being organized which will provide a unique opportunity for all key actors in the navigation area to meet, inform, and discuss the latest developments in navigation and positioning systems, techniques, and applications. High-level scientific activities will be highlighted during the conference. Industry will present and illustrate new technologies in satellite navigation and related fields and services in support of air, land and maritime traffic.

The symposium will cover the following:
  • Global and regional satellite navigation systems in operation and in development
  • Augmentation systems and services
  • GNSS integration with communication systems, GIS, earth observation data, and other terrestrial systems
  • GNSS interoperability and standardization GNSS applications on land, air and sea
