Enhanced Differential Loran Maritime Trials in The Netherlands Declared Successful

The eDLoran receiver including antenna is mounted in a standard enclosure (14x14x10cm) for GPS-RTK equipment provided by AD Navigation (Norway)

The Dutch Pilots Corporation and Reelektronika announced today (January 7, 2014) the successful development and test of an Enhanced Differential Loran (eDLoran) backup to GNSS in The Netherlands.

Trials at sea and in the Rotterdam Europort harbor area met the requirement for absolute accuracies in the five-meter range, according to Durk van Willigen, CEO of Reelektronika, and Wim van Buuren, Loodswezen’s information & communications technology (ICT) and innovation manager and board member.

RF Spectrum Protection

Jules McNeff, Overlook SystemsTechnologies, Inc.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Jules McNeff answers additional questions on the subject of spectrum protection and sharing in a special “GNSS Forum” extension of this installment of the "Thought Leadership Series" in this issue of Inside GNSS.

As Mark Twain once famously told a petitioner for investment advice: “Buy land. They are not making it any more.”

So it is with radio frequency spectrum, a limited and finite resource.

Due to the huge success of GPS in both military and civil applications, several other GNSSs have been developed, built, and operated in the last few decades. GNSS, regional, and augmentation systems are comprise a growing family that also includes GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). New members, such as the Global Indian Navigation System (GINS), are preparing to join in next decade.
