After a break of one year, the Munich Satellite Summit was back, bringing together the major players in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sector from March 25 to 27 2014. Updates on current system status and discussions on future developments were on the agenda. In particular, this year saw a focus on the European Galileo and EGNOS systems.

The European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan (ECCT) hosted the March 11 Taiwan Industry Collaboration Seminar. The event was part of the GNSS.asia project, which is managed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA).

With a new remit, new responsibilities and a growing team of professionals, the GSA rebrands with the introduction of a new logo.

The successful launch of new generation transponders for the EGNOS Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) will pave the way for future services.

The European GNSS Agency (GSA) and the European Commission invite you to attend the third annual European Space Solutions conference schedule for 11 – 13 June in Prague.

The Eleventh Annual Road User Charging Conference took place in Brussels on 5th and 6th March 2014. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are a key enabling technology for a scalable and cost-effective approach to fair and flexible road charging and the European GNSS Agency (GSA) organized a dedicated session to showcase recent developments in this key market.

The submission deadline for the first call for Applications in Satellite Navigation- Galileo under the European Commission’s new Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme is only a few weeks away. Proposals must be submitted by 3 April 2014. Are you ready?

European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (EGNSS) such as EGNOS and Galileo can provide the flexible, low cost solutions that are needed by the transport sector. A recent workshop organized by the European Commission with the support of the European GNSS Agency (GSA) highlighted the benefits and added value offered by EGNSS in applications from road tolling to logistics and a potential key role in the proposed new digital tachograph.

The Middle East is witnessing tremendous advances in the field of geospatial technologies with countries across the region developing their own geospatial infrastructures and strategies. At the recent Middle East Geospatial Forum in Dubai the European GNSS Agency (GSA) showed how Galileo and EGNOS are able to contribute to developments in the region.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals are sensitive to disturbances from the ionosphere, which can impact applications requiring high accuracy. Brazil is located in one of the most affected regions of the Earth and, therefore, is an excellent place for developing and testing solutions to this important issue.
