Jean-Pierre Joosting of eeNews Wireless, also known as MWee, wrote about the recent report from the EU Joint Research Centre’s (JRC) APNT trials. Executed on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Defense Industry and Space (DEFIS), the JRC report was based on rigorous testing and data analysis, and is designed to strengthen the resilience of the EU’s economy and critical infrastructure by identifying alternative solutions for a potential GNSS outage and to serve as a guide for policymakers as they look to select and implement these technologies.
In the report the JRC recognized TerraPoiNT as a mature technology that meets or exceeds all relevant benchmarks to serve as a resilient layer to existing GNSS technology. “Of the technologies tested, TerraPoiNT delivers both horizontal and vertical location services while remaining commercially deployable and cost-effective for end-users. Previously, tests by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) found TerraPoiNT to be the only commercial PNT alternative to meet identified needs in “all applicable use case scenarios.”
