Leica Reference Stations in Department of Sustainability & Environment in Australia
CR Kennedy, Leica Geosystems partner in Australia shall supply new Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) to Spatial Information Infrastructure of the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) in Victoria. The tender requested Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) equipment to support GPSnet modernization and densification. GPSnet is a cooperative network of 31 GNSS reference stations located across Victoria. providing static data for post processing to a comprehensive network providing both post and real time processing services. Modernization of GPSnet will increase the progress of migration to a GNSS CORS infrastructure capability. It will also be deployed into Victoria’s GPSnet as a part of the AuScope Geospatial Infrastructure to be installed over a 5 year
period (2007-2011) ultimately forming part of the nationwide GNSS CORS network of approximately 100 sites.
