Says Sanjai Kohli, Father of Mass Market GPS and Inventor Extraordinaire
Congratulations on winning the European Inventor Award 2010 along with Steven Chen for your outstanding work on developing powerful chipsets. The GPS industry has already felt the impact of your invention, how do you feel about the recognition finally being accorded to you?
We knew that …

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill
A botched job
An unfolding disaster…
with a long lasting impact
Incidentally, more affected ones happen to be the most powerful.
The blame game is on…
Definitely, there is a mounting crisis.
Once again
Any lesson learnt?

Accurate and continuous position computation is a key task for vehicle navigation and telematics applications. In most portable car navigation and telematics devices, the position is determined based only on GPS data. However, in urban canyons stand-alone GPS suffers signal masking and reflections of the signal from buildings, large vehicles, and other reflective surfaces. Driving tests in such metropolises as Hong Kong…
GIOVE-A is a first Galileo test satellite launched on December 28, 2005. The satellite payload transmits two frequency signals at L1+E5 or L1+E6. There are 13 world wide located Galileo Experimental Sensor Stations (GESS) to track and monitor the GIOVE-A signals. High accuracy of GIOVE-A ephemeris or orbit, however, is essential for navigation applications. The paper presents a new method to deal with the precise orbit…
says François Erceau vice president and general manager of Ashtech
While commenting on the name change from Magellan Professional to Ashtech you said, “Ashtech brings a remarkable legacy of technology, precision, and innovation, but the ‘new Ashtech’ is a venture for the 21st century.” Would you like to elaborate?
Founded in 1987, Ashtech® has long played an …

It is not the strongest,
Nor the most intelligent,
But the ones most responsive to change,
Survive.
So said Darwin.
With the advent of new species – Smart Phones, MIDs..
The landscape of satellite navigation industry is changing.
Once considered a powerful and promising navigation force,
The space of PND appears to be shrinking.
Probably there is a need to adapt.
And evolve.

The 746th Test Squadron (746 TS) recently completed qualification testing on the F-22 Raptor’s Global Inertial Navigation System (GINS). The program is the second of two iterations of major test efforts the 746 TS has conducted on the system since 2001…
From the early days of the development of basic navigational software built into satellite navigational receivers, it has been noted that for the sake of simplicity and a number of other reasons, this navigational software is often based on methods of limited accuracy [1]. It is surprising that even nowadays the use of navigational software is still used in a loose manner, sometimes ignoring basic principles and adopting oversimplified…
