Category: GNSS/PNT

Collective name for Global Navigation Satellite Systems and include the well-known constellations of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. They can also include SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems) such as WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS and NAVIC amongst others.
PNT is Positioning, Navigation and Timing, and refers to the overarching use of GNSS by lots of industries.

Geoscience Australia calls for community feedback on Australia’s Precise Positioning needs – now and for the future

Dear Precise Positioning Community,

A new campaign, lead by Geoscience Australia, together with its partners FrontierSI, Curtin University and Positioning Insights, is calling on the community to share their feedback on how they currently use precise GNSS positioning data.

Geoscience Australia provides a range of GNSS data streams, products and services, enabling users throughout Australia to benefit from Positioning Australia’s investment in advanced GNSS infrastructure.

One of Positioning Australia’s objectives is to increase industry and community uptake of their positioning technology, and ultimately improve how location information is used in Australian business operations.

Please follow this link – https://ppi-rfi.typeform.com/to/ZKC4xgP9 – to the questionnaire which takes 20 minutes to complete, ideally in one sitting, and will be open for 8 weeks.

The findings and insights will support the development of new standards and protocols that will help meet the future precise positioning needs of your industry.

We appreciate your time to share your expertise.

Kind Regards,

The PA1008 Project Team

Help to define the future of Australian precise positioning capabilities

Help to define the future of Australia’s precise positioning capabilities

Users and experts in ‘location’ are being asked to come forward and help define the future of Australia’s precise positioning capabilities including the data, information and standards that will be available to Australian industries and the greater community.

Geoscience Australia’s Positioning Australia program and its partners FrontierSI, Curtin University and Positioning Insights, have opened a registration asking for volunteers to take part in the Request for Insights (RFI) which will be asking for input on how precise positioning services are being used multiple sectors across Australia.

If your organisation needs to position any ‘asset’ – whether it be a person or pet, tractor or train, boat or bull, car or container, plane or plant – this team are interested in hearing use cases from across all sectors of industry, and in any use of positioning that provides useful information for your operational or business activities.

The insights received will help shape the next generation of standards and protocols in Australia’s development of high accuracy positioning services.

Registrations are open now, and it is expected that successful applicants will start receiving links to the online Questionnaire from mid-December to early January next year.  The Insights campaign will be open to feedback until mid-February 2021.
