Galileo is Europe’s contribution to the multi-GNSS to provide a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. Offering dual frequencies as standard, Galileo is expected to deliver extremely good realtime positioning accuracy. From users’ point of view, availability of Galileo’s signal would help in achieving a multi- GNSS environment for redundancy and system independence.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is developing e-Navigation as the future approach to marine navigation in order to enhance maritime safety. As such, the IMO state that positioning systems for e-Navigation “should be resilient …. robust, reliable and dependable. Requirements for redundancy, particularly in relation to position fixing systems should be considered”

In order to solve the underlying problem, Korea MOLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) enacted a special act on cadastral resurvey, proclaimed this on 16 September 2011. With the implementation of this special act from 17 March 2012, a CRP (Cadastral Renovation Project) has been being promoted in earnest.

The Ashtech-branded GNSS boards and Integrator-ready GNSS receivers are now managed as part of the Trimble Integrated Technologies (OEM) business. That business sells not only GNSS technology but also digital radio technology and other integrator offerings including software and services. The Ashtech GNSS OEM portfolio nicely complements the existing Trimble “BD” range of GNSS boards, providing integrators with a wide range of options and capabilities to choose from.
