Galileo Services Goes International

  13/02/2007
Galileo Services has expanded its association with new members from non-European countries. Canadian NovAtel, US-based JAVAD GNSS, dmedia System from Taiwan and SEIKO EPSON from Japan are now members of the non-profit association, which objective is to foster development of technologies and pilot value-added services and applications for the future use of Galileo.

Galileo Satellite“Galileo is a global system and it is therefore important to be able to have a global view also when it comes to downstream applications and services” stated Mr. Gard Ueland, president of Kongsberg Seatex and chairman of Galileo Services. “That motivated our decision last year to open the association also to non-European companies. New members and especially our new members from North-America and from Asia are all valued supplements to the association.”

 

The role of Galileo Services is among other tasks that of an active contributor to the development of future Galileo services and applications, both towards the European GNSS

Supervisory Authority - the European public agency in charge of the Galileo Programme, and towards the future Galileo Concessionaire, who will be in charge of deployment, operation and commercial exploitation of the Galileo system.

 

“The future Galileo concessionaire will need partners to support the development of innovative services and business models and thus to generate revenues from the Galileo system exploitation” added Jean-Fançois Bou, Galileo Programme director at Thales, vice-chairman of Galileo Services. “Galileo markets are so vast, that an association like

Galileo Services, pooling together expertise in almost all sectors and knowledge about the major World Region markets, will be very valuable to the future concessionaire when consolidating the Galileo value-added services provision scheme.”

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
