By Inside GNSSContemporary times have seen an increase in the number of navigation satellites across various geographical regions. In order to ensure that all these satellite systems work together to optimize the positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) of users on or near the Earth’s surface there is need for inter-cooperation and inter-operability of the systems.
By Inside GNSSThe 2016 Trimble Dimensions user conference and exhibition will take place at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas on November 7, 8 and 9.
The annual event gathers users of Trimble’s products including positioning technology for unmanned systems as well as mapping, GIS, surveying, photgrammetry and remote sensing and other technologies of interest to readers of Inside GNSS.
Four hundred and fifty technical sessions and networking events give attendees an opportunity to network widely within and among industry groups.

By Inside GNSSGNSS receivers seem to get all the attention. Go to any technical GNSS conference and the lion’s share of presentations are about receiver design and techniques: better algorithms, signal processing, integration with other sensors, spoofing detection, and on and on.
By Inside GNSSThe 5th International Intelligent Transportation System and Location-based Services expo will take place in Shenzhen (深圳), China on June 17, 18 and 19, 2016. It will take place in Hall 9 of the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in the city center.
By Inside GNSSThe Royal Institute of Navigation’s International Navigation Conference 2016 will be held at the University of Strathclyde Conference Centre in Glasgow, Scotland from November 8 – 10, 2016.
A number of keynote speakers will discuss topics from Virgin Galactic’s voyage to space to quantum sensors for inertial navigation to autonomous cars, android phones, train control and even "Three dimensional thinking: from rats to humans, via Klingons."
Poster and demonstration abstracts are due by May 30. Full paper submission is due on June 15.
By Inside GNSSNAVITEC is an annual navigation conference hosted by the European Space Agency (ESA). This year’s event will take place at ESA’s Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands on December 14, 15 and 16, 2016. The theme is "Navigating the Future of Transportation."
The scope of the workshop includes navigation equipment and techniques, including receivers, payloads, signals, navigation algorithms, signal processing techniques and terrestrial and space GNSS applications.
By Inside GNSSModernized GPS satellites give civil users the ability to achieve dual L1/L2 PY accuracy using dual L1CA/L2C ionosphere-free measurements and, with IIF satellites, dual L1/L5 signals. Because broadcast GPS ephemeris data is based on an ionosphere-free pseudorange calculated from dual L1PY/L2PY measurements and the civil signals are not all perfectly aligned to it, new broadcast parameters and a new modernized dual-frequency algorithm are needed in order to align new signals with the dual L1/L2 PY signal.

Boubeker Belabbas, an expert in aerospace mechanics and safety-critical GNSS applications, grew up in Bordeaux, a city of wine, and works in Munich, a city of beer. But he started out in the land of mint tea: a small village in the north of Algeria in the region called Kabylia.
By Inside GNSSHemisphere GNSS, Inc. today (May 5, 2016) announced that Xinping Guo has been named Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
By Inside GNSSThe Chinese Professionals in GPS (CPGPS) sponsor their first International Conference on GNSS+ from July 27 through July 30, 2016. It will take place at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) in Shanghai, China. The International Association of Geodesy (IAG) cosponsors the event.
The deadline for abstract submission has passed.
By Inside GNSSAnyone who has sat through several iterations of a slide presentation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can’t help but wonder if there isn’t a better way to do things.
As speakers flip through an exhaustively vetted series of PowerPoint slides, squeezing out a new bullet point or two from one version to the next six months later, watching paint dry seems like a more productive — and briefer — use of one’s time. The agency sometimes brings a whole new meaning to the concept of geological time.
