Gunther Heinrichs Describes the Galileo Test Environment
Speaking to GPS World at the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit, Gunther Heinrichs, the head of business development at IFEN GmbH, describes capabilities and simulation projects taking place in the Galileo Test Environment.
The experimental operation phase of GATE has been completed successfully. Since August 2008 it is possible for companies and research institutes to book GATE for various experiments. It is planned to operate GATE at least until the full operational capability of Galileo.
The GATE test bed cornerstones are six ground transmitters, emitting the Galileo signals towards the GATE test area. Inside this test area, which is located in the region of Berchtesgaden (GER), adequate receiver terminals can receive these signals and perform Galileo based positioning and navigation.
