(Photo: Trimble) Transportation continues to be a key application area for GNSS and related technologies — both directly, as with receivers on trains, and indirectly, as in airport construction. For this month’s cover story, I chose three transportation-related projects that…
The National Standards Authority of Ireland’s National Metrology Laboratory (NSAI NML) has launched Europe’s first verified GPS/GNSS Data Stream (VGDS) service, designed to enhance the National Timing Grid of Ireland. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Timing Solutions, seeks to provide…
