DGNSS Infrastructure Management and Support
Fugro operates a global DGNSS network.
The network includes:
100 reference stations,
an extensive data communication network and
two manned network control centres (NCC)
The reference stations are fitted with high quality GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) receivers and a data communications link.
The differential correction data generated is gathered centrally at the NCC's, and then broadcast to the mobile users using 10
different communication satellites.
These include the 4 Inmarsat
operational satellites for use with conventional Inmarsat
communications equipment and high power channels on a further 6 satellites.
The main advantage of the high-power data broadcast
is support for small omni-directional antennae systems.
Fugro Seastar AS has management and operational responsibility for Fugro's DGNSS infrastructure in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
