Access to the Galileo signal in a multi-constellation environment is providing benefits and opportunities for businesses, thanks to the enhanced performance and increased accuracy on offer, said the European GNSS Agency (GSA).
Swedish geographical information technology company SCIOR Geomanagement AB uses a variety of technology in its equipment, including drone aerial photography, terrestrial laser scanning, GNSS or combinations of these.
According to the company’s findings, which it presented at the 2019 Intergeo conference in Stuttgart, it has been achieving significantly enhanced performance and other benefits in its day-to-day activities from the use of Galileo-enabled equipment, GSA said.
According to GSA, performance will be even better in coming years as the number of Galileo satellites increases to reach full operation capability, allowing users to obtain their desired position accuracy and availability in a shorter period of time, GSA added.
