A day devoted to precision geo-tracking by satellite at Izarbel

On Thursday 6 December, the ESTIA engineering school is organising a day of conferences and round tables on satellite positioning systems. This event is open to students, researchers, businesses and public authorities. 

This day devoted to precision geo-positioning via satellite, also known as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), is organised by ESTIA in association with TERIA, the French real-time centimetric geo-tracking network rolled out by the company Exagone. 

Four seminars will shed light on the workings of GNSS and present:

• technological and economical stakes,
• the French GNSS system, TERIA,
• EGNOS tracking data guaranteed for critical applications in Europe,
• a presentation of GUIDE, the GNSS test laboratory for the certification of navigation systems on autonomous vehicles.

Four round tables, with contributions from the Izarbel-based companies SIG-IMAGE and AGUILA Technologies in particular, are also on the programme. The round tables will examine various applications of this tracking and navigation system of worldwide scope, such as:

• smart city & mobility (the Community of the Districts participated in this round table to present the geo-tracking applications for its free-floating bicycle service),
• precision agriculture,
• 4.0 industry / smart factory,
• ocean & environment.

The event will be moderated by Michel Ravelet, journalist and editor-in-chief of the magazine Géomètre.
