By Stan GoffHigh performance inertial sensor technology, receiver signal processing, and robotic and indoor navigation presentations all played a big role in technical sessions at the IEEE/ION Position Location and Navigation Symposium (PLANS) at the Hyatt Regency Monterey in Monterey, California from April 23-26.
By Stan GoffNearly a year later than expected, federal officials have published the final report of a study on the power levels GPS receivers can tolerate from activities in neighboring bands — a key factor in the kind of new applications that could be approved for those nearby frequencies.

By Inside GNSSThis year’s Munich Satellite Navigation Summit featured pointed debates on high accuracy, integrity and authentication, exploring the trade-off between GNSS performance and security. And, as usual, there were some new products and systems looking to make a splash.
By Peter GutierrezThe federal government is rumored to be nearing a decision about Ligado Networks’ request to repurpose its satellite frequencies to also support a ground-based telecom network. Those frequencies neighbor the band used by GPS. Testing done both several years ago and more recently has shown such a system could seriously interfere with GPS receivers.
By Dee Ann DivisAn independent technical review ordered by the federal government’s top GPS policy body found that there is sufficient data to assess the risk of using frequencies near the GPS band for a ground-based communications network. Existing test results can also be used to set power limits for other similarly located projects, said a panel of technical specialists. Two tests sponsored by Ligado Networks, however, did not meet minimum criteria for inclusion, the panel said.
