Workshop by European GNSS Agency
Purpose of the workshop including specific learning objectives
Dialogue on the benefits of Galileo in Geospatial applications, including the bottlenecks the industry is facing to adopt E-GNSS smoothly, concerns and needs to be met while implementing Galileo, discussion on potential usage of Authentication service within Location Intelligence/high accuracy applications
Target workshop audience
Surveyors/GIS, reference network providers, receiver manufacturers, surveying/GIS/Geospatial/ Geoinformatics associations
Workshop duration
3.5 hours
Detailed description of workshop
The workshop is structured in two parts:
In the first part, the aim is to highlight to the geospatial community:
- The E-GNSS status (E-GNSS programme timeline, Galileo frequencies, services description)
- E-GNSS key features and benefits for geospatial applications with the focus on high-accuracy applications (Galileo Open Service (OS), and the Galileo Commercial Service (CS))
- R&D opportunities for industry and receiver manufacturers (Horizon 2020, Fundamental Elements)
- The European GNSS Service Center- The interface between the Galileo system and the users of the Galileo Open Service (OS), and the Galileo Commercial Service (CS).
The second part is dedicated to Galileo integration and adoption in Geospatial equipment and end-products and will conclude with a discussion on potential usage of the Galileo signal authentication service within high-accuracy/Location Intelligence domain.
